The timer_delete_sync() and container_of() functions will also work in kernel 6.12. |

There is also a function/macro timer_container_of() (since v6.16) Look at lwfinger/rtw88#373 |

Add version checks to support both old and new timer APIs across different kernel versions: - Use timer_delete_sync() on kernels >= 6.1, fall back to del_timer_sync() on older kernels. The timer_delete_sync() function was introduced in kernel 6.1 as a replacement for del_timer_sync(). - Use from_timer() for timer callbacks on kernels >= 4.15, fall back to container_of() on older kernels. The from_timer() macro was introduced in kernel 4.15 as part of the timer API modernization. - Use hrtimer_setup() on kernels >= 4.15, fall back to manual hrtimer_init() and function assignment on older kernels. The hrtimer_setup() helper was introduced alongside the timer callback changes in kernel 4.15. - Use timer_container_of() on kernels >= 6.16 and container_of() for older kernels. Since the minimum supported kernel is currently 6.12, there is no need to add container_of() for older kernels. Signed-off-by: John Audia <therealgraysky@proton.me>
