From 883624a08cb4144343e7362d9fff0e2c69613ebf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Fri, 24 Dec 2010 16:14:20 +0100 Subject: ioc4: use static work_struct for ioc4_load_modules() There is no reason to dynamically allocate work_struct for ioc4_load_modules(). It makes the code more complex and makes it impossible to flush the work directly. Use static work ioc4_load_modules_work instead and flush it directly on exit. This removes the use of flush_scheduled_work() which is being deprecated.
