Subject: [PATCH 1/2] sched/dl: Implement cancel_dl_timer() to use in switched_from_dl()
Date: Sat, 27 Sep 2014 12:40:58 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140927084044.1634.60573.stgit@localhost> (raw)

From: Kirill Tkhai <ktkhai@parallels.com>

hrtimer_try_to_cancel() may bring a suprise, and even two its calls
may fail.

So, let's implement 100% guaranteed way to cancel the timer and let's
be sure we are safe even in very unlikely situations.

We do not create any problem with rq unlocking, because it already
may happed below in pull_dl_task(). No problem with deadline tasks
balancing too.
