From dfb4b82e1c631b1a6057e77212996a890aa515b7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 9 May 2007 02:34:11 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] workqueue: make cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue() work on idle dwork cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue(dwork) will hang forever if dwork was not scheduled, because in that case cancel_delayed_work()->del_timer_sync() never returns true. I don't know if there are any callers which may have problems, but this is not so convenient, and the fix is very simple. Q: looks like we don't need "struct workqueue_struct *wq" parameter. If the timer was aborted successfully, get_wq_data() == wq. Is it worth to add the new function?
