If dwork->timer is pending - _PENDING must be set.
If del_timer() succeeds, nobody else can clear this bit.

and in this case schedule_delayed_work()->queue_delayed_work_on()
can't succeed because it does test_and_set_bit(_PENDING).
But. Since this helper was merged, I think it should use del_timer_sync()
to be correct. Yes, it is slower, but otherwise flush is racy.
And I think it should return a bolean to match flush_work(). IOW,
int flush_delayed_work(struct delayed_work *dwork)
{
int requeued = false;
if (del_timer(&dwork->timer)) {
struct cpu_workqueue_struct *cwq;
cwq = wq_per_cpu(keventd_wq, get_cpu());
__queue_work(cwq, &dwork->work);
put_cpu();
requeued = true;
}
return flush_work(&dwork->work) || requeued;
}
Not that I think this is terribly important, but still.
I'll send the patch.
Oleg.
