The comment to flush_scheduled_work states that calling this function in
the context of a work routine will lead to deadlock. I think it means
following scenario:
static void
handler(struct work_struct *work)
{
flush_scheduled_work();
}
static DECLARE_WORK(work, handler);
schedule_work(&work);
If this is true for system workqueue (system_wq) is it also applied to
custom workqueue? I want to wait for completion of the workqueues in
another workqueue. For example:
static void
handler(struct work_struct *work)
{
struct work_data * data = (struct work_data *)work;
flush_scheduled_work();
kfree(data);
}
wq = create_workqueue("wq_test");
data = kmalloc(sizeof(struct work_data), GFP_KERNEL);
INIT_WORK(&data->work, handler);
queue_work(wq, &data->work);
