[PATCH 25/25] usb/gadget/NCM: Replace tasklet with softirq hrtimer

From: Anna-Maria Gleixner
Date: Thu Aug 31 2017 - 08:24:34 EST


From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The tx_tasklet tasklet is used in invoke the hrtimer (task_timer) in
softirq context. This can be also achieved without the tasklet but with
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_SOFT as hrtimer base.
