Subject[RFC PATCH 0/3] timer: patchset focus on del_timer_sync()
Date
From: Yong Zhang <yong.zhang@windriver.com>

This is inspired by http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/8/16/291
which catch a lockdep false positive on fake_timer_lock.
When I go into del_timer_sync(), but don't find anything
which prevent del_timer_sync() from using in softirq context,
and indeed it's been used in softirq for some timer(such as
__dst_free()).

Thus, tell others it can't be used in softirq context, and
teach lockdep about that. It's realized by patch-0002.

Your comments are very appreciated.

Thanks,
Yong
