Subject: [PATCH] skge: race with workq and RTNL
Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2007 15:37:39 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070216153739.387d0b97@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
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.
