[PATCH v3 3/5] platform/x86: hp-wmi: use mod_delayed_work to reset keep-alive timer
Posted by Emre Cecanpunar 1 day, 20 hours ago
Currently, schedule_delayed_work() is used to queue the 90s keep-alive
timer. If a user manually changes the fan speed at T=85s,
schedule_delayed_work() leaves the existing timer in place as it is a
no-op if the work is already pending. This results in the keep-alive
timer firing unnecessarily at T=90s, just 5 seconds after the user
action.

Replace schedule_delayed_work() with mod_delayed_work() to reset the
90s timer whenever fan settings are applied. This guarantees a full 90s
delay after every user interaction, preventing redundant keep-alive
executions and improving efficiency.

  a functional bug.
