[PATCH v2 34/37] ALSA/dummy: Replace tasklet with softirq hrtimer

[Anna-Maria Gleixner <anna-maria@linutronix.de>]

[-- Attachment #1: ALSAdummy_Replace_tasklet_with_softirq_hrtimer.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 4008 bytes --]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

The tasklet is used to defer the execution of snd_pcm_period_elapsed() to
the softirq context. Using the HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT mode invokes the timer
callback in softirq context as well which renders the tasklet useless.

[o-takashi: avoid stall due to a call of hrtimer_cancel() on a callback
            of hrtimer]

I think you asked me just to update the comment. Did I do it right?

v2...v3: updated the comment as per Takashi Sakamoto's suggestion.
v1...v2: merged Takashi Sakamoto fixup of the original patch into v2.
