Sadly, I didn't see this trace before... kernel BUG at kernel/workqueue.c:287! this matches "INIT_DELAYED_WORK() can corrupt the pending work" I mentioned. >> Or.

Which race? b00bc0b237055b4c45816325ee14f0bd83e6f590 fixes the race, yes. But this race was introduced by 3959214f971417f4162926ac52ad4cd042958caa. And afaics the latter commit is optimization... Anyway, this is up to you, of course.
