Ah! Yes, very cool. Most callbacks could be converted to the new timer callback pretty easily. Some, though, pass non-pointer data in the "data" argument. Those can likely be moved to somewhere else, though. I think it should be possible to just perform all the conversions. Regardless, getting rid of init_timer*() and eliminating the open-coded callback assignments should help. I'll keep grinding on that. -Kees -- Kees Cook Pixel Security
