From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@suse.com> Date: Tue, 31 May 2016 14:48:15 +0200 Subject: HID: elo: kill not flush the work From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@suse.com> commit ed596a4a88bd161f868ccba078557ee7ede8a6ef upstream. Flushing a work that reschedules itself is not a sensible operation. It needs to be killed. Failure to do so leads to a kernel panic in the timer code.
