[PATCH 4.19 15/34] RDMA/ib_srp: Fix a deadlock
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Feb 28 2022 - 12:35:41 EST
From: Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@xxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 081bdc9fe05bb23248f5effb6f811da3da4b8252 ]
Remove the flush_workqueue(system_long_wq) call since flushing
system_long_wq is deadlock-prone and since that call is redundant with a
preceding cancel_work_sync()
