NAME
       mod_timer_pinned - modify a timer's timeout

SYNOPSIS
       int mod_timer_pinned(struct timer_list * timer, unsigned long expires);

ARGUMENTS
       timer
	   the timer to be modified

       expires
	   new timeout in jiffies

DESCRIPTION
       mod_timer_pinned is a way to update the expire field of an active timer (if the timer is inactive it will be activated) and not allow the
       timer to be migrated to a different CPU.

       mod_timer_pinned(timer, expires) is equivalent to:

       del_timer(timer); timer->expires = expires; add_timer(timer);
