From c703c750cc247c5b06aef5cc054e62543c79e6b5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vaishali Thakkar Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2015 23:25:48 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] Staging: rtl8712: Eliminate use of _set_timer This patch introduces the use of API function mod_timer instead of driver specific function _set_timer as it is a more efficient and standard way to update the expire field of an active timer. Also, definition of function _set_timer is removed as it is no longer needed after this change. Here, these cases are handled using Coccinelle and semantic patch used for this is as follows: @@ expression x; expression y;@@ - _set_timer (&x, y); + mod_timer (&x, jiffies + msecs_to_jiffies (y)); Signed-off-by: Vaishali Thakkar Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- Reading git-format-patch failed
