Subject: Re: Regression: WARNINGS and lockdep spews in 2.6.38-rc3+
(bisected).
How about we revert your patch and go back to not allowing
del_timer_sync() from any interrupt context, we can fix __dst_free by
removing the need for cancel_delayed_work().
Are there any other del_timer_sync() callers from softirq?
