Timer deletion on PREEMPT_RT is prone to priority inversion and live locks. The hrtimer code has a synchronization mechanism for this. Posix CPU timers will grow one. But that mechanism cannot be invoked while holding the k_itimer lock because that can deadlock against the running timer callback. So the lock must be dropped which allows the timer to be freed. The timer free can be prevented by taking RCU readlock before dropping the lock, but because the rcu_head is part of the 'it' union a concurrent free will overwrite the hrtimer on which the task is trying to synchronize. Move the rcu_head out of the union to prevent this. [ tglx: Fixed up kernel-doc.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
