From a56f992cdabc63f56b4b142885deebebf936ff76 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2012 23:08:52 +0100 Subject: mac80211: use del_timer_sync for final sta cleanup timer deletion This is a very old bug, but there's nothing that prevents the timer from running while the module is being removed when we only do del_timer() instead of del_timer_sync(). The timer should normally not be running at this point, but it's not clearly impossible (or we could just remove this.)
