Hi Congyang,
	I think this should be:
#if defined(CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_SPARSE) && defined(CONFIG_HUGETLBFS)
	flush_work(&node_dev->node_work);
#endif

	As struct node defined in node.h:
struct node {
	struct sys_device	sysdev;

#if defined(CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_SPARSE) && defined(CONFIG_HUGETLBFS)
	struct work_struct	node_work;
#endif
};

	Thanks
	Jianguo Wu
