Subject: [PATCH 4.2-rc5] workqueue: Make flush_workqueue() available again to non GPL modules
Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2015 11:26:04 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1438709164-3645-1-git-send-email-tim.gardner@canonical.com> (raw)
From: Tim Gardner <tim.gardner@canonical.com>
Commit 37b1ef31a568fc02e53587620226e5f3c66454c8 ("workqueue: move
flush_scheduled_work() to workqueue.h") moved the exported non GPL
flush_scheduled_work() from a function to an inline wrapper.
Unfortunately, it directly calls flush_workqueue() which is a GPL function.
This has the effect of changing the licensing requirement for this function
and makes it unavailable to non GPL modules.
See commit ad7b1f841f8a54c6d61ff181451f55b68175e15a ("workqueue: Make
schedule_work() available again to non GPL modules") for precedent.
