Hello Ming,

What you wrote is not correct. synchronize_*rcu() only waits for ongoing
.queue_rq() calls. cancel_delayed_work() will return immediately if it is
called after hctx->run_work has already been started. And the hctx->run_work
handler can trigger new .queue_rq() calls after synchronize_*rcu() has
already returned.

Bart.
