timer_del() vs. timer_del_sync()
hi,
i wanted to take a look on the timer_del() vs. timer_del_sync() issue at http://kernelnewbies.org/KernelJanitors/Todo. the link describing the issue (a mail from andrew morton in 7 years ago ...) mentions the necessity to call timer_exit() to tell del_timer_sync() that it has finished. i looked for timer_exit() on lxr, but it isn't defined. has the issue been resolved in another way (googling i found a proposal of andrew about using a deadlock detector) and the TODO is just outdated? if it's still an issue, what would be the steps for fixing?
