Hmmm... the only thing which is a bit bothering is that after removing the shutdown from release_workfn this would make the final flushing sequential, one cgwb at a time, which in certain cases can take an unnecessarily long time. It's not a correctness issue tho and if it becomes a problem we can deal with it by splitting wb_shutdown() into two pieces - the unregistration / issuing of the work items, and the flushing of those. Other than that, looks good to me. Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx> Thanks. -- tejun
