IIRC, flush_work() is just a nop when a work is not queued nor running.

Yeah, that is the point we use lockdep to detect deadlock for workqueue.
But when looking at start_flush_work(), for some case
!(cwq->wq->saved_max_active == 1 || cwq->wq->flags & WQ_RESCUER),
lock_map_acquire_read() is called, but recursive read is not added to
the chain list. So when lock_map_acquire_read(&cwq->wq->lockdep_map)
is called, deadlock will not be detected. I hope you don't hit that
special case.
Thanks,
Yong
