Subject: [PATCH 20/27] ip2: avoid add_timer with pending timer
Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2008 11:50:37 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081010105035.31597.27051.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20081010103447.31597.42992.stgit@localhost.localdomain>

From: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com>

add_timer() is not suppose to be called when the timer is pending.
ip2 driver attempts to avoid that condition by setting and resetting
a flag (TimerOn) in timer function. But there is some gap between
add_timer() and setting TimerOn.

This patch fix this problem by using mod_timer() and remove TimerOn
which has been unnecessary by this change.
