From 8c53e46314562fe814b0afef6cfcbd2f562b017c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2009 09:16:42 -0700 Subject: workqueue: add 'flush_delayed_work()' to run and wait for delayed work It basically turns a delayed work into an immediate work, and then waits for it to finish, thus allowing you to force (and wait for) an immediate flush of a delayed work. We'll want to use this in the tty layer to clean up tty_flush_to_ldisc().
