FLUSH_WORK(9)							   Driver Basics						     FLUSH_WORK(9)

NAME

       flush_work - block until a work_struct's callback has terminated

SYNOPSIS

       int flush_work(struct work_struct * work);

ARGUMENTS

       work
	   the work which is to be flushed

DESCRIPTION

       Returns false if work has already terminated.

       It is expected that, prior to calling flush_work, the caller has arranged for the work to not be requeued, otherwise it doesn't make sense
       to use this function.

	      thread
		 thread pointer for threaded interrupts

	      thread_flags
		 flags related to thread

       softirq.entry
	      triggered just before executing handler for a pending softirq

	      Arguments:

	      h
		 struct softirq* for current pending softirq.

	      vec
		 softirq_action vector

	      action
