From ab784e5075698ed3b767d5e264a50aab39add209 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Abbott Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2014 17:35:11 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] staging: comedi: das16: deschedule timer routine on detach The "das16" driver optionally uses a kernel timer and a DMA channel to support asynchronous data acquisition, but currently never calls `del_timer_sync()`. There is some possibility the timer routine could still be scheduled to run when the comedi "detach" handler is run to clean up the device and cause a certain amount of havoc. Avoid that by calling `del_time_sync()` in the comedi "detach" handler `das16_detach()` if the timer was initialized by the "attach" handler `das16_attach()`. Use the timer's `data` member to tell whether it was initialized or not.
