Subject: floppy: Use del_timer_sync() in init cleanup
Date: Sat, 23 Jul 2011 12:49:42 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.02.1107231247350.2702@ionos> (raw)

From: Carsten Emde <C.Emde@osadl.org>

When no floppy is found the module code can be released while a timer
function is pending or about to be executed.

CPU0                                  CPU1
				      floppy_init()
timer_softirq()
   spin_lock_irq(&base->lock);   
   detach_timer();
   spin_unlock_irq(&base->lock);
   -> Interrupt
					del_timer();
				        return -ENODEV;
                                      module_cleanup();
   <- EOI
   call_timer_fn();
   OOPS

Use del_timer_sync() to prevent this.
