Subjectlinux-next: tracebacks in workqueue.c/__flush_work()
Date
Commit "workqueue: Try to catch flush_work() without INIT_WORK()" added
a warning if flush_work() is called without worker function.

This results in the following tracebacks, typically observed during
system shutdown.

---[ end trace 613cea34708701f1 ]---

The problem is seen with several (but not all) architectures. Affected
architectures/platforms are:
alpha
arm:versatilepb
m68k
mips, mips64 (boot from IDE drive or MMC, SMP disabled)
parisc (nosmp builds)
sparc, sparc64 (nosmp builds)

There may be others; several of my tests fail with build failures.

If/when it is seen, the problem is persistent.

Common denominator seems to be that SMP is disabled. It does appear that
for_each_cpu() ignores the mask for nosmp builds, but I don't really
understand why.
