The patch titled flush_cpu_workqueue: don't flush an empty ->worklist has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was flush_cpu_workqueue-dont-flush-an-empty-worklist.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: flush_cpu_workqueue: don't flush an empty ->worklist From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Now when we have ->current_work we can avoid adding a barrier and waiting for its completition when cwq's queue is empty. Note: this change is also useful if we change flush_workqueue() to also check the dead CPUs.
