Mhm, what exactly is the benefit of renaming the function?

Not that I'm against the change, but my thinking is more if there are
more functions which don't re-arm the time than those which do that then
why not forbid it in general?
Timers are more often re-armed then not. I had to look for the
locations where del_timer*() was called just before freeing, and other
locations where they are freed later.

I didn't rename del_timer_sync() to timer_shutdown_sync(), this version
renamed the new "del_timer_shutdown()" to "timer_shutdown_sync()".

Maybe I'm just confused at what you are asking.

No, that explains it a bit better. I was just wondering what exactly the different to del_timer_sync() is.

Maybe shorten the summary in the cover letter a bit. The history how this change came to be is not as interesting as why we are changing something.

Regards,
Christian.
