From a919cf4b6b499416b6e2247dbc79196c4325f2e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sven Wegener Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2008 00:47:16 +0200 Subject: ipvs: Create init functions for estimator code Commit 8ab19ea36c5c5340ff598e4d15fc084eb65671dc ("ipvs: Fix possible deadlock in estimator code") fixed a deadlock condition, but that condition can only happen during unload of IPVS, because during normal operation there is at least our global stats structure in the estimator list. The mod_timer() and del_timer_sync() calls are actually initialization and cleanup code in disguise. Let's make it explicit and move them to their own init and cleanup function.
