Using secs_to_jiffies() is pointless, 0 is universal, should become 
schedule_delayed_work(&work, 0);

Should fit on a single line, avoid multiple lines when possible.

Yes, schedule_delayed_work(&work, 0) looks like the right solution.

Or even better, it seems that the delayed work might get replaced by
a normal workqueue work.

Anyway, I am working on a patchset which would remove this sample
module. There is no need to put much effort into the clean up
of this particular module. Do whatever is easiest for you.

Petr

If we're removing the module, I'll drop it from the series. Just to
clarify, do you mean to remove all of samples/livepatch/* or some
particular file(s)?

To be precise, I am going to replace:

	samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.c
	samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.c
	samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-busymod.c

with a completely different modules because I am reworking the
callbacks API.

All other sample modules are going to stay.

Feel free to remove livepatch-callbacks-busymod.c from the patchset.
But also feel free to keep it. The API rework goes slowly. I am not
sure if it would be ready for 6.14.

Best Regards,
Petr

I would propose that Easwar goes on with his work and prepares an updated 
version of the patch based on Christophe's feedback. That is, disregarding 
Petr's rework for now. The patch set has a higher chance to be merged 
sooner. Petr can then easily rebase. If there is a conflict, we will 
handle it as usual. What do you think?
