[PATCH 4.9 054/164] drm/nouveau/tmr: handle races with hw when updating the next alarm time

Show all headers | View raw

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ben Skeggs <bskeggs@redhat.com>

commit 1b0f84380b10ee97f7d2dd191294de9017e94d1d upstream.

If the time to the next alarm is short enough, we could race with HW and
end up with an ~4 second delay until it triggers.

Fix this by checking again after we update HW.
