[PATCH] Delete slow-work timers properly

From: David Howells
Date: Wed Apr 22 2009 - 07:04:24 EST


From: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@xxxxxxx>

Slow-work appears to delete its timer as soon as the first user
unregisters, even though other users could be active. At the same time, it
never seems to delete slow_work_oom_timer. Arrange for both to happen in
the shutdown path.
