Like commit c4f135d643 ("workqueue: Wrap flush_workqueue() using a
macro") says, flush_scheduled_work() is dangerous and will be forbidden.
Commit 4d4109d0eb ("[SCSI] mpt fusion: Power Management fixes for MPT SAS
PCI-E controllers") added flush_scheduled_work() call into
mptscsih_suspend(). As of commit 4d4109d0eb, there were several
schedule{,_delayed}_work() calls where flush_scheduled_work() from
mptscsih_suspend() meant to wait for completion. However, which work items
this flush_scheduled_work() call was for was not explained.
Then, schedule_work("struct mptsas_hotplug_event"->work) and
schedule_work(MPT_ADAPTER->sas_persist_task) have been removed by commit
3eb0822c67 ("[SCSI] mpt fusion: Firmware event implementation using
seperate WorkQueue"), and schedule_work("struct
mptsas_send_discovery_event"->work) has been removed by commit f9c34022ea
("[SCSI] mpt fusion: SAS topology scan changes, expander events").
There still remains schedule_work("struct work_queue_wrapper"->work) call
in mptspi.c and schedule_delayed_work("struct mpt_lan_priv"->work) call in
mptlan.c , but I guess that these are not work items which commit
4d4109d0eb meant to wait for completion because these are not per
MPT_ADAPTER work items. If my guess is correct, we no longer need to call
flush_scheduled_work() from mptscsih_suspend().
