Now that work_grab_pending() can always grab the PENDING bit without
sleeping, the only thing that prevents allowing cancel_work_sync() of a BH
work item from an atomic context is the flushing of the in-flight instance.
When we're flushing a BH work item for cancel_work_sync(), we know that the
work item is not queued and must be executing in a BH context, which means
that it's safe to busy-wait for its completion from a non-hardirq atomic
context.
This patch updates __flush_work() so that it busy-waits when flushing a BH
work item for cancel_work_sync(). might_sleep() is pushed from
start_flush_work() to its callers - when operating on a BH work item,
__cancel_work_sync() now enforces !in_hardirq() instead of might_sleep().
This allows cancel_work_sync() and disable_work() to be called from
non-hardirq atomic contexts on BH work items.
v3: In __flush_work(), test WORK_OFFQ_BH to tell whether a work item being
canceled can be busy waited instead of making start_flush_work() return
the pool. (Lai)
v2: Lai pointed out that __flush_work() was accessing pool->flags outside
the RCU critical section protecting the pool pointer. Fix it by testing
and remembering the result inside the RCU critical section.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
