      workqueues: introduce __cancel_delayed_work() · 4e49627b
      Oleg Nesterov authored
      cancel_delayed_work() has to use del_timer_sync() to guarantee the timer
      function is not running after return.  But most users doesn't actually
      need this, and del_timer_sync() has problems: it is not useable from
      interrupt, and it depends on every lock which could be taken from irq.
      
      Introduce __cancel_delayed_work() which calls del_timer() instead.
      
      The immediate reason for this patch is
      http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13757
      but hopefully this helper makes sense anyway.
      
      As for 13757 bug, actually we need requeue_delayed_work(), but its
      semantics are not yet clear.
      
      Merge this patch early to resolves cross-tree interdependencies between
      input and infiniband.
