hrtimer: Remove HRTIMER_STATE_MIGRATE
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
I do not understand HRTIMER_STATE_MIGRATE. Unless I am totally
confused it looks buggy and simply unneeded.

migrate_hrtimer_list() sets it to keep hrtimer_active() == T, but this
is not enough: this can fool, say, hrtimer_is_queued() in
dequeue_signal().

Can't migrate_hrtimer_list() simply use HRTIMER_STATE_ENQUEUED?
This fixes the race and we can kill STATE_MIGRATE.
