[ofw] [PATCH] complib/user: fix timer race conditions

Hefty, Sean sean.hefty at intel.com
Thu Jun 24 17:55:55 PDT 2010


This serializes the callbacks for a timer and provides synchronization for
multi-threaded timer usage.

cl_timer_stop is not allowed to be called from a timer callback.

cl_timer_start simply calls cl_timer_trim

cl_timer_trim cancels any queued timer and inserts a new one if the timeout
time is less than the last last set timeout.

This eliminates the need to track the callback thread ID and any races associated
with trying to do so.  The synchronization provided is straightforward.
