Subject: [PATCH] SUNRPC/xprt: Use del_timer_sync() instead of del_singleshot_timer_sync()
Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2022 17:05:05 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221028170505.44d779c3@gandalf.local.home> (raw)

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Back on June 22, 2005, it was decided to use del_singleshot_timer_sync()
because it wouldn't loop like del_timer_sync(), and since the timer that
was being removed was not about to be rearmed, it was considered an
efficiency to use del_singleshot_timer_sync() over del_timer_sync().

But on June 23, 2005, commit 55c888d6d09a0 ("timers fixes/improvements")
happened, which converted del_singleshot_timer_sync() into:

 #define del_singleshot_timer_sync(t) del_timer_sync(t)

Making the two equivalent.

Now work is being done to add a "shutdown" state to timers where a timer
must be in that state in order to be freed to prevent use-after-free bugs
caused by timers being re-armed just before being freed, the
del_singleshot_timer_sync() is now being converted into something that
will set the timer to the shutdown state. This means that once
del_singleshot_timer_sync() is called, the timer can no longer be
re-armed.

As the timer here will be re-armed, it can not use del_singleshot_timer_sync().
But as the reason it was used in the first place no longer exists, just
use del_timer_sync().
