[PATCH 09/22] drm/amdgpu: fix kmd reload bug on bare-metal

So returning true only means the work is on TODO list, but the work will *never* get executed after this cancel_delayed_work_sync() returned right ?

The first thing that cancel_delayed_work_sync() does is it takes the work item from the TODO list.

The it makes sure that the work is currently not running on another CPU.

The return value just indicates if the work was still on the TODO list or not, e.g. when false is returned when the work was already done before the call was made, true otherwise.

So the while loop isn't necessary here.

Christian.
