[PATCH 3.16 96/99] net/hamradio/6pack: use mod_timer() to rearm timers

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Tue Apr 02 2019 - 09:43:56 EST


3.16.65-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 202700e30740c6568b5a6943662f3829566dd533 upstream.

Using del_timer() + add_timer() is generally unsafe on SMP,
as noticed by syzbot. Use mod_timer() instead.
