[PATCH] atkbd: cancel delayed work before freeing its structure

From: Jiri Pirko
Date: Wed Nov 05 2008 - 09:31:50 EST


Pointed out by Oleg Nesterov. Since delayed work is used here, use of
flush_scheduled_work() is not sufficient in atkbd_disconnect(). It does
not wait for scheduled delayed work to finish. This patch prevents
delayed work to be processed after freeing atkbd structure (used struct
delayed_work is part of atkbd) by cancelling this delayed work.
