Subject: [NET]: Fix gen_estimator timer removal race
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6b25d30bf112370a12d05c3c0fd43732985dab01;p=linux-beck.git

[NET]: Fix gen_estimator timer removal race

As noticed by Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@o2.pl>, the timer removal in
gen_kill_estimator races with the timer function rearming the timer.

Check whether the timer list is empty before rearming the timer
in the timer function to fix this.
