From 89c86a64cd056e283323710c9ddf6f7090a450c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bjorn Helgaas Date: Thu, 5 Dec 2013 17:37:51 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] kobject: delay kobject release for random time When CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y, delay kobject release functions for a random time between 1 and 8 seconds, which effectively changes the order in which they're called.
