From 44d9b3f584c59a606b521e7274e658d5b866c699 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Abbott abbotti@mev.co.uk Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2025 13:39:01 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] comedi: jr3_pci: Fix synchronous deletion of timer
When `jr3_pci_detach()` is called during device removal, it calls `timer_delete_sync()` to stop the timer, but the timer expiry function always reschedules the timer, so the synchronization is ineffective.
Call `timer_shutdown_sync()` instead. It does not matter that the timer expiry function pointer is cleared, because the device is being removed.
