blk_sync_queue — cancel any pending callbacks on a queue
voidblk_sync_queue( | struct request_queue *q); |
The block layer may perform asynchronous callback activity on a queue, such as calling the unplug function after a timeout. A block device may call blk_sync_queue to ensure that any such activity is cancelled, thus allowing it to release resources that the callbacks might use. The caller must already have made sure that its ->make_request_fn will not re-add plugging prior to calling this function.
This function does not cancel any asynchronous activity arising out of elevator or throttling code. That would requireelevator_exit andblkcg_exit_queue to be called with queue lock initialized.
