From 593be07ae8f6f4a1b1b98813fabb155328f8bc0c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2006 20:36:01 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] file: kill unnecessary timer in fdtable_defer free_fdtable_rc() schedules timer to reschedule fddef->wq if schedule_work() on it returns 0. However, schedule_work() guarantees that the target work is executed at least once after the scheduling regardless of its return value. 0 return simply means that the work was already pending and thus no further action was required. Another problem is that it used contant '5' as @expires argument to mod_timer(). Kill unnecessary fddef->timer.
