That can cause the flag to be\n      stale over a shutdown/startup sequence\n\n    - When a non-forced event is armed, which then prevents rearming before\n      that event. If that event is far out in the future this will cause\n      missed timer interrupts.\n\n    - In the suspend wakeup handler.\n\nThat led to stalls which have been reported by several people.\n\nAdd the missing resets, which fixes the problems for the reporters."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["kernel/time/clockevents.c","kernel/time/tick-broadcast.c"],"versions":[{"version":"d6e152d905bdb1f32f9d99775e2f453350399a6a","lessThan":"9401b593fa48218d2667df1610b0ebc518554880","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"d6e152d905bdb1f32f9d99775e2f453350399a6a","lessThan":"4096fd0e8eaea13ebe5206700b33f49635ae18e5","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["kernel/time/clockevents.c","kernel/time/tick-broadcast.c"],"versions":[{"version":"7.0","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"7.0","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.0.1","lessThanOrEqual":"7.0.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.1-rc1","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"7.0","versionEndExcluding":"7.0.1"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"7.0","versionEndExcluding":"7.1-rc1"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9401b593fa48218d2667df1610b0ebc518554880"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4096fd0e8eaea13ebe5206700b33f49635ae18e5"}],"title":"clockevents: Add missing resets of the next_event_forced flag","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
