| |
This is just the patches to implement the infrastructure of the timer_shutdown_sync() and timer_shutdown(). I'll leave the scripting for the second stage if this is approved.
Changes since the v5a: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221106054535.709068702@goodmis.org/
- Broke up the implementation patch into three patches:
1. The code taken from Thomas and tweaked to compile and added comments, as well as changing the name to timer_shutdown_sync(): https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221106054535.709068702@goodmis.org/
2. Addition of timer_shutdown() that is like del_timer() but uses the same logic as timer_shutdown_sync() to disable the timer after it is called.
3. Update the documentation to reflect the new APIs.
