#define LVL_SIZE (1UL << LVL_BITS)

#if HZ > 100
# define LVL_DEPTH 9
# else
# define LVL_DEPTH 8

#define WHEEL_SIZE (LVL_SIZE * LVL_DEPTH)

WHEEL_SIZE(HZ > 100) = (1 << 6) * 9 = 576
max_index(HZ > 100) = 575 = 0x23f

0x23f << ARRAY_SHIFT = 0x11f800000

Q: Does 0x11f800000 fit into 32bit?
A: No, and we are not making flags 64bit just because.

If you want a bit you have to steal it from the CPUMASK field, but you
could simply set timer->function to NULL, so you can spare extra checks,
no?

So this would become:

- BUG_ON(!timer->function);
+ if (WARN_ON(!timer->function))
+ return -EBROKEN;

You really want to return here and not proceed.

That needs a corresponding change in add_timer_on() plus:

- fn = timer->function;
+ fn = READ_ONCE(timer->function);
in expire_timers().

So this reimplements del_timer_sync() just slightly different for no
reason. Something like the uncompiled below.

Thanks,
