+ * Think twice before calling this function!  It's very easy to get into
+ * trouble if you don't take great care.  Either of the following situations
+ * will lead to deadlock:
+ *
+ *	One of the work items currently on the workqueue needs to acquire
+ *	a lock held by your code or its caller.
+ *
+ *	Your code is running in the context of a work routine.
+ *
+ * They will be detected by lockdep when they occur, but the first might not
+ * occur very often.  It depends on what work items are on the workqueue and
+ * what locks they need, which you have no control over.
+ *
+ * In most situations flushing the entire workqueue is overkill; you merely
+ * need to know that a particular work item isn't queued and isn't running.
+ * In such cases you should use cancel_delayed_work_sync() or
+ * cancel_work_sync() instead.
