When a CPU is dying, the overflow worker is canceled and rescheduled on a different CPU in the same domain. But if the timer is already about to expire this essentially doubles the interval which might result in a non detected overflow. Cancel the overflow worker and reschedule it immediately on a different CPU in same domain. The work could be flushed as well, but that would reschedule it on the same CPU.

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.
