The patch titled
reimplement flush_workqueue()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
reimplement-flush_workqueue.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: reimplement flush_workqueue()
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
Remove ->remove_sequence, ->insert_sequence, and ->work_done from struct
cpu_workqueue_struct. To implement flush_workqueue() we can queue a
barrier work on each CPU and wait for its completition.
The barrier is queued under workqueue_mutex to ensure that per cpu
wq->cpu_wq is alive, we drop this mutex before going to sleep. If CPU goes
down while we are waiting for completition, take_over_work() will move the
barrier on another CPU, and the handler will wake up us eventually.
