From 1118e2cd33d47254854e1ba3ba8e32802ff14fdf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yong Zhang Date: Wed, 20 Oct 2010 15:57:32 -0700 Subject: timer: Del_timer_sync() can be used in softirq context Actually we have used del_timer_sync() in softirq context for a long time, e.g. in __dst_free()::cancel_delayed_work(). So change the comments of it to warn on hardirq context only, and make lockdep know about this change.
