Mhm, what exactly is the benefit of renaming the function?
Not that I'm against the change, but my thinking is more if there are more functions which don't re-arm the time than those which do that then why not forbid it in general?
Timers are more often re-armed then not. I had to look for the locations where del_timer*() was called just before freeing, and other locations where they are freed later.
I didn't rename del_timer_sync() to timer_shutdown_sync(), this version renamed the new "del_timer_shutdown()" to "timer_shutdown_sync()".
Maybe I'm just confused at what you are asking.
