From dd6414b50fa2b1cd247a8aa8f8bd42414b7453e1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Phil Carmody Date: Wed, 20 Oct 2010 15:57:33 -0700 Subject: timer: Permit statically-declared work with deferrable timers Currently, you have to just define a delayed_work uninitialised, and then initialise it before first use. That's a tad clumsy. At risk of playing mind-games with the compiler, fooling it into doing pointer arithmetic with compile-time-constants, this lets clients properly initialise delayed work with deferrable timers statically. This patch was inspired by the issues which lead Artem Bityutskiy to commit 8eab945c5616fc984 ("sunrpc: make the cache cleaner workqueue deferrable").
