# flush\_work\_sync(9)

wait until a work has finished execution

## NAME

flush\_work\_sync - wait until a work has finished execution

## SYNOPSIS

**bool flush\_work\_sync(struct work\_struct \*** *work***);**

## ARGUMENTS

*work*

the work to flush

## DESCRIPTION

Wait until *work* has finished execution. On return, it's guaranteed that all queueing instances of *work* which happened before this function is called are finished. In other words, if *work* hasn't been requeued since this function was called, *work* is guaranteed to be idle on return.

## RETURNS

**true** if **flush\_work\_sync** waited for the work to finish execution, **false** if it was already idle.
