[PATCH 2/8] AF_RXRPC: Make it possible to merely try to cancel timers and delayed work [try #2]

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Export try_to_del_timer_sync() for use by the RxRPC module.

Add a try_to_cancel_delayed_work() so that it is possible to merely attempt to
cancel a delayed work timer.
