Currently, you have to just define a delayed_work uninitialised, and then initialise it before first use. That's a tad clumsy. At risk of playing mind-games with the compiler, fooling it into doing pointer arithmetic with compile-time-constants, this lets clients properly initialise delayed work with deferrable timers statically. This patch was inspired by the issues which lead Artem Bityutskiy to commit 8eab945c ("sunrpc: make the cache cleaner workqueue deferrable"). Signed-off-by:
