People wish to make decisions about whether this patch is needed in 2.6.29.x, 2.6.30.x, 2.6.31, 2.6.32, etc. Without knowing the effects of the problem which the patch fixes, we cannot make that decision! > > + /* cancel any work */ > + cancel_delayed_work(&ts->work); > + Should this have been cancel_delayed_work_sync()? /* * Kill off a pending schedule_delayed_work().
