In commit 5b6490def9168af6a ("3c59x: Use setup_timer()") Amitoj removed add_timer which sets up the epires timer. In this patch the behavior is restore but it uses mod_timer which is a bit more compact.
Signed-off-by: Stafford Horne <sho...@gmail.com> --- I think a patch like this will help restore the behavior. Also, its small cleanup since we dont need to do separate set to expire and call to add_timer. But thats a style preference. drivers/net/ethernet/3com/3c59x.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/3com/3c59x.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/3com/3c59x.c index c377607..7b881ed 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/3com/3c59x.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/3com/3c59x.c @@ -1602,7 +1602,7 @@ vortex_up(struct net_device *dev) } setup_timer(&vp->timer, vortex_timer, (unsigned long)dev); - vp->timer.expires = RUN_AT(media_tbl[dev->if_port].wait); + mod_timer(&vp->timer, RUN_AT(media_tbl[dev->if_port].wait)); setup_timer(&vp->rx_oom_timer, rx_oom_timer, (unsigned long)dev); if (vortex_debug > 1) -- 2.5.0
