I haven't been using kernel v4.1 so I haven't seen this warning, but looking
at the code it seems to originate from the two recent patches to remove
_cancel_timer and _cancel_timer_ex. I see that there's another patch in lkml [1]
that changes del_timer_sync back to del_timer in more places. Perhaps it
could prevent other warnings like this in the future.
_cancel_timer and _cancel_timer_ex both were internally using del_timer,
and the issue was reported in bugzilla. I have given the reference of the
bugzilla in my patch in lkml.
I have changed the reference of del_timer_sync to del_timer in all places
which were in interrupt context, in some places it was not removed as
those were not in interrupt context.
Why did you not Cc the maintainers?? That is why file MAINTAINERS exists.
Was your patch sent to Greg?
