CANCEL_DELAYED_WORK(9)                    Driver Basics                    CANCEL_DELAYED_WORK(9)



NAME
       cancel_delayed_work - cancel a delayed work

SYNOPSIS
       bool cancel_delayed_work(struct delayed_work * dwork);

ARGUMENTS
       dwork
           delayed_work to cancel

DESCRIPTION
       Kill off a pending delayed_work.

RETURN
       true if dwork was pending and canceled; false if it wasn't pending.

NOTE
       The work callback function may still be running on return, unless it returns true and the
       work doesn't re-arm itself. Explicitly flush or use cancel_delayed_work_sync to wait on
       it.

       This function is safe to call from any context including IRQ handler.
