[v11] timers: Move from a push remote at enqueue to a pull at expiry model

[PATCH v11 07/20] timers: add_timer_on(): Make sure TIMER_PINNED flag is set

Posted by Anna-Maria Behnsen 1 year, 9 months ago

When adding a timer to the timer wheel using add_timer_on(), it is an
implicitly pinned timer. With the timer pull at expiry time model in place,
TIMER_PINNED flag is required to make sure timers end up in proper base.

Add TIMER_PINNED flag unconditionally when add_timer_on() is executed.
