From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2007 23:37:39 +0000 (-0800) Subject: skge: race with workq and RTNL X-Git-Tag: v2.6.21-rc1~51^2~3 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=208491d8f92e5aa129acb27e223e75d0173a3edd;p=linux-2.6 skge: race with workq and RTNL If a workqueue function that needs RTNL is running when skge_down is called then a deadlock is possible. Fix by only clearing the timer, and handling the flush_scheduled_work on removal. This work queue is only ever used for the old fiber based boards.
