From locking dependency perspective, sync version of cancel request should behave as if flush request, for it waits for completion of work if that work has already started execution. ---------- #include #include static DEFINE_MUTEX(mutex); static void work_fn(struct work_struct *work) { schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(HZ / 5); mutex_lock(&mutex); mutex_unlock(&mutex); } static DECLARE_WORK(work, work_fn); static int __init test_init(void) { schedule_work(&work); schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(HZ / 10); mutex_lock(&mutex); cancel_work_sync(&work); mutex_unlock(&mutex); return -EINVAL; } module_init(test_init); MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); ---------- The check this patch restores was added by commit 0976dfc1d0cd80a4 ("workqueue: Catch more locking problems with flush_work()"). Then, lockdep's crossrelease feature was added by commit b09be676e0ff25bd ("locking/lockdep: Implement the 'crossrelease' feature"). As a result, this check was once removed by commit fd1a5b04dfb899f8 ("workqueue: Remove now redundant lock acquisitions wrt. workqueue flushes"). But lockdep's crossrelease feature was removed by commit e966eaeeb623f099 ("locking/lockdep: Remove the cross-release locking checks"). At this point, this check should have been restored. Then, commit d6e89786bed977f3 ("workqueue: skip lockdep wq dependency in cancel_work_sync()") introduced a boolean flag in order to distinguish flush_work() and cancel_work_sync(), for checking "struct workqueue_struct" dependency when called from cancel_work_sync() was causing false positives. Then, commit 87915adc3f0acdf0 ("workqueue: re-add lockdep dependencies for flushing") tried to restore "struct work_struct" dependency check, but by error checked this boolean flag. Like an example shown above indicates, "struct work_struct" dependency needs to be checked for both flush_work() and cancel_work_sync().
