[PATCH 1/2] timers: Initialize base::next_expiry_recalc during prepare cpu

From: Anna-Maria Behnsen
Date: Tue Apr 05 2022 - 20:20:16 EST


When base::next_expiry_recalc is not initialized to false during cpu
bringup in HOTPLUG_CPU and is accidently true and no timer is queued in the
meantime, the loop through the wheel to find __next_timer_interrupt() might
be done for nothing.

Therefore initialize base::next_expiry_recalc to false in
timers_prepare_cpu().
