The usage of in_interrupt() in xpc_partition_disengaged() is clearly intended to avoid canceling the timeout timer when the function is invoked from the timer callback. While in_interrupt() is deprecated and ill defined as it does not provide what the name suggests it catches the intended case. Add an argument to xpc_partition_disengaged() which is true if called from timer and otherwise false. Use del_timer_sync() instead of del_singleshot_timer_sync() which is the same thing. Note: This does not prevent reentrancy into the function as the function has no concurrency control and timer callback and regular task context callers can happen concurrently on different CPUs or the timer can interrupt the task context before it is able to cancel it. While the only driver which is providing the arch_xpc_ops callbacks (xpc_uv) seems not to have a reentrancy problem and the only negative effect would be a double dev_info() entry in dmesg, the whole mechanism is conceptually broken. But that's not subject of this cleanup endeavour and left as an exercise to the folks who might have interest to make that code fully correct.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
