+Subject: workqueue: Make flush_workqueue() available again to non GPL modules
+
+Commit 37b1ef31a568fc02e53587620226e5f3c66454c8 ("workqueue: move
+flush_scheduled_work() to workqueue.h") moved the exported non GPL
+flush_scheduled_work() from a function to an inline wrapper.
+Unfortunately, it directly calls flush_workqueue() which is a GPL function.
+This has the effect of changing the licensing requirement for this function
+and makes it unavailable to non GPL modules.
+
+See commit ad7b1f841f8a54c6d61ff181451f55b68175e15a ("workqueue: Make
+schedule_work() available again to non GPL modules") for precedent.
