[v4,09/16] timer: Split out "get next timer interrupt" functionality
Commit Message
forward_and_idle_timer_bases() includes the functionality for getting the
next timer interrupt. To reuse it, it is splitted into an separate function
"get_next_timer_interrupt()".
This is preparatory work for the conversion of the NOHZ timer
placement to a pull at expiry time model. No functional change.

So perhaps forward_and_idle_timer_interrupt() could stay as
"get_next_timer_interrupt()" and the new get_next_timer_interrupt() above could
become fetch_next_timer_interrupt().
Just an idea.
From a functional POV:

Hmm... it's better than mine :) I know, forward_and_idle_timer_bases() is
not the best name.
Maybe, it is total irrelevant: Since local and global timer information is
required, the original get_next_timer_interrupt() does not return directly
the next timer interrupt. This was introduced already in patch "timer:
Retrieve next expiry of pinned/non-pinned timers seperately". So it's no
longer possible to write:
next_timer = get_next_timer_interrupt()
When having a function "get_something()" I would expect the information is
returned directly. Perhaps just a thing that I would expect... the new
get_next_timer_interrupt() returns directly the next timer interrupt.
Thanks,
