[PATCH 1/7] static_key: flush rate limit timer on rmmod

From: Radim KrÄmÃÅ
Date: Thu Oct 17 2013 - 06:17:43 EST


Fix a bug when we free module memory while timer is pending by marking
deferred static keys and flushing the timer on module unload.

Also make static_key_rate_limit() useable more than once.

Reproducer: (host crasher)
modprobe kvm_intel
(sleep 1; echo quit) \
| qemu-kvm -kernel /dev/null -monitor stdio &
sleep 0.5
until modprobe -rv kvm_intel 2>/dev/null; do true; done
modprobe -v kvm_intel

Very hacky; I've already queued generalizing ratelimit and applying it
here, but there is still a lot to do on static keys ...
