In cancel_work_sync(), we can only have one of two cases, even
with an ordered workqueue:
* the work isn't running, just cancelled before it started
* the work is running, but then nothing else can be on the
workqueue before it
Thus, we need to skip the lockdep workqueue dependency handling,
otherwise we get false positive reports from lockdep saying that
we have a potential deadlock when the workqueue also has other
work items with locking, e.g.
work1_function() { mutex_lock(&mutex); ... }
work2_function() { /* nothing */ }
other_function() {
queue_work(ordered_wq, &work1);
queue_work(ordered_wq, &work2);
mutex_lock(&mutex);
cancel_work_sync(&work2);
}
As described above, this isn't a problem, but lockdep will
currently flag it as if cancel_work_sync() was flush_work(),
which *is* a problem.

README
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.
