It is an important fix. Luca has already assigned it to you in patchwork. Thanks! Acked-by: Gregory Greenman <gregory.greenman@intel.com>

I fixed this manually during commit.

In Chrome OS, a large number of crashes is observed due to corrupted timer lists. Steven Rostedt pointed out that this usually happens when a timer is freed while still active, and that the problem is often triggered by code calling del_timer() instead of del_timer_sync() just before freeing. Steven also identified the iwlwifi driver as one of the possible culprits since it does exactly that.

No functional change. I thought about the need to add a mutex to protect the timer list, but I convinced myself that it is not necessary because the code adding the timer list and the code removing it should never be never executed in parallel. drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/iwl-dbg-tlv.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
