Subject: [PATCH 5.4.y] comedi: jr3_pci: Fix synchronous deletion of timer
Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2025 14:06:01 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250429130601.672190-1-abbotti@mev.co.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2025042808-vastly-armrest-7811@gregkh>
commit 44d9b3f584c59a606b521e7274e658d5b866c699 upstream.
When `jr3_pci_detach()` is called during device removal, it calls
`del_timer_sync()` to stop the timer, but the timer expiry function
always reschedules the timer, so the synchronization is ineffective.
Add a member `bool timer_enable` to the device private data to indicate
whether the timer should be restarted. Use the main comedi device
spin-lock for synchronization, as that is already used by the timer
expiry function. (The upstream commit called `timer_shutdown_sync()`
instead of `del_timer_sync()`, but that is not available.)
Fixes: 07b509e6584a5 ("Staging: comedi: add jr3_pci driver")
