In flush_work(), we need to create a lockdep dependency so that
the following scenario is appropriately tagged as a problem:
work_function()
{
mutex_lock(&mutex);
...
}
other_function()
{
mutex_lock(&mutex);
flush_work(&work); // or cancel_work_sync(&work);
}
This is a problem since the work might be running and be blocked
on trying to acquire the mutex.
Similarly, in flush_workqueue().
These were removed after cross-release partially caught these
problems, but now cross-release was reverted anyway. IMHO the
removal was erroneous anyway though, since lockdep should be
able to catch potential problems, not just actual ones, and
cross-release would only have caught the problem when actually
invoking wait_for_completion().

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 Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
