The timer delayed for more than 3 seconds warning was triggered during testing. Workqueue: events_unbound sched_tick_remote RIP: 0010:sched_tick_remote+0xee/0x100 ... Call Trace: process_one_work+0x18c/0x3a0 worker_thread+0x30/0x380 kthread+0x113/0x130 ret_from_fork+0x22/0x40 The reason is that the code in collect_expired_timers() uses jiffies unprotected: if (next_event > jiffies) base->clk = jiffies; As the compiler is allowed to reload the value base->clk can advance between the check and the store and in the worst case advance farther than next event. That causes the timer expiry to be delayed until the wheel pointer wraps around.
