Re: [tipc-discussion] Can we do del_timer_sync()in tasklet?

[Ying X. <yin...@wi...>]

Hi,

I think it's no problem, i.e, that's fine when calling del_timer_sync() 
on BH context.
Actually I guess you may see some comments for del_timer_sync() in 
kernel/time.c file. The comments warn the user the del_timer_sync() 
cannot be called from interrupt contexts.
However, I want to clarify its claimed "interrupt contexts" just refers 
to hardirq contexts. But I can confirm that on softirq context it's 
absolutely safe to invoke it.

Regards,
Ying
