Hi Tomas, Although in http://www.makelinux.net/ldd3/chp-7-sect-6, there said to flush the shared workqueue requires calling function flush_scheduled_work.
But in kernel workqueue.c, there are comment of flush_scheduled_work said that "In most situations flushing the entire workqueue is overkill; you merely need to know that a particular work item isn't queued and isn't running." In such cases use flush_work is OK. This can be proved in so many kernel device driver calling flush_work instead of flush_scheduled_work.
