From 6501c8e7d86cca5fab74f873810cbc573273d1b4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vaishali Thakkar Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2015 16:23:35 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] Staging: rtl8712: Eliminate use of _cancel_timer_ex Use timer API function del_timer_sync instead of driver specific function _cancel_timer_ex as besides deactivating a timer, it ensures that the timer is stopped on all CPUs before the driver exists. Also, definition of function _cancel_timer_ex is removed as it is no longer needed after this change. This is done using Coccinelle and semantic patch used for this is as follows: @@ expression x; @@ - _cancel_timer_ex (&x); + del_timer_sync (&x); Signed-off-by: Vaishali Thakkar Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- Reading git-format-patch failed
