From 9e02fb963352c5ad075d80dd3e852fbee9585575 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2011 10:53:33 +0200 Subject: KVM: fix crash on irqfd deassign irqfd in kvm used flush_work incorrectly: it assumed that work scheduled previously can't run after flush_work, but since kvm uses a non-reentrant workqueue (by means of schedule_work) we need flush_work_sync to get that guarantee.
