If I am not wrong, instead of this you need to add free_timings(desc) to delayed_free_desc.

The interrupt framework gives a lot of information about each interrupt. It does not keep track of when those interrupts occur though. This patch provides a mean to record the elapsed time between successive interrupt occurrences in a per-IRQ per-CPU circular buffer to help with the prediction of the next occurrence using a statistical model. A new function is added to browse the different interrupts and retrieve the timing information stored in it. A static key will be introduced when the irq prediction is switched on at runtime in order to reduce an overhead near to zero when the kernel is not using it.
