The comedi_test devices have a couple of timers (ai_timer and ao_timer) that can be started to simulate hardware interrupts. Their expiry functions normally reschedule the timer. The driver code calls either del_timer_sync() or del_timer() to delete the timers from the queue, but does not currently prevent the timers from rescheduling themselves so synchronized deletion may be ineffective.
Add a couple of boolean members (one for each timer: ai_timer_enable and ao_timer_enable) to the device private data structure to indicate whether the timers are allowed to reschedule themselves. Set the member to true when adding the timer to the queue, and to false when deleting the timer from the queue in the waveform_ai_cancel() and waveform_ao_cancel() functions.
The del_timer_sync() function is also called from the waveform_detach() function, but the timer enable members will already be set to false when that function is called, so no change is needed there.
