From 689dfa894c57842a05bf6dc9f97e6bb71ec5f386 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tiejun Chen Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2013 17:01:19 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Max next_tb to prevent from replaying timer interrupt With lazy interrupt, we always call __check_irq_replaysome with decrementers_next_tb to check if we need to replay timer interrupt. So in hotplug case we also need to set decrementers_next_tb as MAX to make sure __check_irq_replay don't replay timer interrupt when return as we expect, otherwise we'll trap here infinitely.
