[PATCH v3 34/36] ALSA/dummy: Replace tasklet with softirq hrtimer

From: Anna-Maria Gleixner
Date: Wed Nov 29 2017 - 10:35:58 EST


From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

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]
