Subject: [GIT PULL] workqueue fixes for v2.6.34-rc6

Hello, Linus.

Please pull from

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq.git for-linus

to receive wq fix for v2.6.34-rc6.  The branch contains only single
fix from Oleg Nesterov.  8c53e46314562fe814b0afef6cfcbd2f562b017c
modified flush_delayed_work() to queue the work immediately after
shooting down the timer but it incorrectly always used keventd_wq
instead of the original workqueue the delayed work was destined for.
As the work is executed on the default workqueue, it probably can go
unnoticed in most cases but may still lead to very subtle problems.

Thanks.

Oleg Nesterov (1):
      workqueue: flush_delayed_work: keep the original workqueue for re-queueing
