Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y 1/3] hrtimers: Introduce hrtimer_update_function()
Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2025 10:55:54 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251230155556.2289800-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2025122923-amaretto-output-f3dc@gregkh>
From: Nam Cao <namcao@linutronix.de>
[ Upstream commit 8f02e3563bb5824eb01c94f2c75f1dcee2d05625 ]
Some users of hrtimer need to change the callback function after the
initial setup. They write to hrtimer::function directly.
That's not safe under all circumstances as the write is lockless and a
concurrent timer expiry might end up using the wrong function pointer.
Introduce hrtimer_update_function(), which also performs runtime checks
whether it is safe to modify the callback.
This allows to make hrtimer::function private once all users are converted.
