    powerpc: Fix races with irq_work · 0215f7d8
    Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
    If we set irq_work on a processor and immediately afterward, before the
    irq work has a chance to be processed, we change the decrementer value,
    we can seriously delay the handling of that irq_work.
    
    Fix it by checking in a few places for pending irq work, first before
    changing the decrementer in decrementer_set_next_event() and after
    changing it in the same function and in timer_interrupt().
