Subject: [Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 v6 4/7] dm/push_backup: fix mod_timer() usage
Date: Wed,  4 Nov 2026 11:38:15 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104083818.856720-5-andrey.zhadchenko@virtuozzo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261104083818.856720-1-andrey.zhadchenko@virtuozzo.com>

mod_timer() takes an absolute jiffies value, but all callers pass a
relative one, which is always in the past. The timer fires and re-arms
on every tick while a write is delayed. It has worked so far because
pb_timer_func() checks pb->deadline_jiffies each time.

Fixes: 62e07487348e ("dm: Add push backup driver")
https://virtuozzo.atlassian.net/browse/VSTOR-152912

Feature: dm-backup: push backup target driver
Signed-off-by: Andrey Zhadchenko <andrey.zhadchenko@virtuozzo.com>

v2: no changes
v3: no changes
v4: added Fixes: tag

    the mod_timer() in push_backup_write(); commit message: the
    relative expiry is always in the past, not only after 5 min
v6: subject prefix changed to dm/push_backup, added Feature: tag
