Subject: [NET]: Fix gen_estimator timer removal race
Date: Wed, 04 Jul 2007 17:47:51 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <468BC127.1090904@trash.net> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 172 bytes --]
This is an updated version of the gen_estimator fix
that relies on all changes happening under the rtnl
and just fixes the race between timer rearming and
timer removal.

[NET]: Fix gen_estimator timer removal race
As noticed by Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@o2.pl>, the timer removal in
gen_kill_estimator races with the timer function rearming the timer.
Check whether the timer list is empty before rearming the timer
in the timer function to fix this.
