start_flush_work() is the only place where no flags are passed.
That stuff above does not work - no clue how to do that.
Any help?

Then I see there...
...
spin_lock(&pool->lock);
...
spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock);
...

Should that be spin_lock_irq()?

static bool start_flush_work(struct work_struct *work, struct wq_barrier *barr)
{
struct worker *worker = NULL;
struct worker_pool *pool;
struct pool_workqueue *pwq;

might_sleep();

local_irq_disable();
pool = get_work_pool(work);
if (!pool) {
local_irq_enable();
return false;
}

spin_lock(&pool->lock); <--- XXX: spin_lock_irq() ???
/* see the comment in try_to_grab_pending() with the same code */
pwq = get_work_pwq(work);
if (pwq) {
if (unlikely(pwq->pool != pool))
goto already_gone;
} else {
worker = find_worker_executing_work(pool, work);
if (!worker)
goto already_gone;
pwq = worker->current_pwq;
}

check_flush_dependency(pwq->wq, work);

insert_wq_barrier(pwq, barr, work, worker);
spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock);

/*
* If @max_active is 1 or rescuer is in use, flushing another work
* item on the same workqueue may lead to deadlock. Make sure the
* flusher is not running on the same workqueue by verifying write
* access.
*/
if (pwq->wq->saved_max_active == 1 || pwq->wq->rescuer)
lock_map_acquire(&pwq->wq->lockdep_map);
else
lock_map_acquire_read(&pwq->wq->lockdep_map);
lock_map_release(&pwq->wq->lockdep_map);

return true;
already_gone:
spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock);
return false;
}
