clockevent_device::next_event holds the next timer event of a clock event device. The value is updated in clockevents_program_event(), i.e. when the hardware timer is armed for the next expiry. When there are no software timers armed on a CPU, the corresponding per CPU clockevent device is brought into ONESHOT_STOPPED state, but clockevent_device::next_event is not updated, because clockevents_program_event() is not called. So the content of clockevent_device::next_event is stale, which is not an issue when real hardware is used. But the hrtimer broadcast device relies on that information and the stale value causes spurious wakeups. Update clockevent_device::next_event to KTIME_MAX when it has been brought into ONESHOT_STOPPED state to avoid spurious wakeups. This reflects the proper expiry time of the stopped timer: infinity.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
