Which is done bloody rarely. grep and you'll see... BTW, there are other reasons why passing struct timer_list * is wrong: * direct calls of the timer callback * callback being the same for two timers embedded into different structs * see a timer callback, decide it looks better as a tasklet. What, need a different glue now? Look, it's a delayed call. The less glue we need, the better - the rules are much simpler that way, so that alone means that we'll get fewer fsckups. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
