It doesn't look nice, but then having a lockless timer function is worth it in my view.
The code in gov_cancel_work() runs relatively rarely, but the timer function can run very often, so avoiding the lock in there is a priority to me.
Plus we can avoid disabling interrupts in two places this way.
Okay, that's good enough then. I hope you will be sending these patches now, right? And ofcourse, we need documentation in this case as well.
