From 1f1f642e2f092e37eb9038060eb0100c44f55a11 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Sun, 15 Jul 2007 23:41:44 -0700 Subject: make cancel_xxx_work_sync() return a boolean Change cancel_work_sync() and cancel_delayed_work_sync() to return a boolean indicating whether the work was actually cancelled. A zero return value means that the work was not pending/queued. Without that kind of change it is not possible to avoid flush_workqueue() sometimes, see the next patch as an example. Also, this patch unifies both functions and kills the (unlikely) busy-wait loop.
