timer: Fix mod_timer_pinned() header comment
The mod_timer_pinned() header comment states that it prevents timers from being migrated to a different CPU. This is not the case, instead, it ensures that the timer is posted to the current CPU, but does nothing to prevent CPU-hotplug operations from migrating the timer. This commit therefore brings the comment header into alignment with reality. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

* mod_timer_pinned() is a way to update the expire field of an
|
||||
* active timer (if the timer is inactive it will be activated)
|
||||
* and not allow the timer to be migrated to a different CPU.
|
||||
* and to ensure that the timer is scheduled on the current CPU.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Note that this does not prevent the timer from being migrated
|
||||
* when the current CPU goes offline. If this is a problem for
|
||||
* you, use CPU-hotplug notifiers to handle it correctly, for
|
||||
* example, cancelling the timer when the corresponding CPU goes
|
||||
* offline.

* mod_timer_pinned(timer, expires) is equivalent to:
