Subject: timer: permit statically-declared work with deferrable timers
Date: Thu, 30 Sep 2010 22:26:28 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1285874789-1481-1-git-send-email-ext-phil.2.carmody@nokia.com> (raw)
Arjen, Thomas,
This patch is an enabler which hopefully can lead to simplification of code
elsewhere. For example, it would turn Artem's patch I refer to in the commit
message (8eab945c5616fc984e97b922d6a2559be93f39a1) into just:
-static DECLARE_DELAYED_WORK(cache_cleaner, do_cache_clean);
+static DECLARE_DEFERRED_WORK(cache_cleaner, do_cache_clean);
rather than the creation of a __init helper that required touching 3 files.
I'm prepared to follow up with such simplifying patches if it's considered
worthwhile.
Cheers,
Phil
