+Subject: [PATCH 14/62] tick: Fix timer storm since introduction of timersd
+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.1/older/patches-6.1.69-rt21.tar.xz
+
+If timers are pending while the tick is reprogrammed on nohz_mode, the
+next expiry is not armed to fire now, it is delayed one jiffy forward
+instead so as not to raise an inextinguishable timer storm with such
+scenario:
+
+1) IRQ triggers and queue a timer
+2) ksoftirqd() is woken up
+3) IRQ tail: timer is reprogrammed to fire now
+4) IRQ exit
+5) TIMER interrupt
+6) goto 3)
+
+...all that until we finally reach ksoftirqd.
+
+Unfortunately we are checking the wrong softirq vector bitmask since
+timersd kthread has split from ksoftirqd. Timers now have their own
+vector state field that must be checked separately. As a result, the
+old timer storm is back. This shows up early on boot with extremely long
+initcalls:
+
+ [ 333.004807] initcall dquot_init+0x0/0x111 returned 0 after 323822879 usecs
+
+and the cause is uncovered with the right trace events showing just
+10 microseconds between ticks (~100 000 Hz):
+
+|swapper/-1 1dn.h111 60818582us : hrtimer_expire_entry: hrtimer=00000000e0ef0f6b function=tick_sched_timer now=60415486608
+|swapper/-1 1dn.h111 60818592us : hrtimer_expire_entry: hrtimer=00000000e0ef0f6b function=tick_sched_timer now=60415496082
+|swapper/-1 1dn.h111 60818601us : hrtimer_expire_entry: hrtimer=00000000e0ef0f6b function=tick_sched_timer now=60415505550
+
+Fix this by checking the right timer vector state from the nohz code.
