[PATCH 4.6 082/203] HID: elo: kill not flush the work

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

 



4.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@xxxxxxxx>

commit ed596a4a88bd161f868ccba078557ee7ede8a6ef upstream.

Flushing a work that reschedules itself is not a sensible operation. It needs
to be killed. Failure to do so leads to a kernel panic in the timer code.
