/**
- * block_job_cancel:
+ * block_job_cancel_sync:
* @job: The job to be canceled.
*
- * Asynchronously cancel the job and wait for it to reach a quiescent
- * state. Note that the completion callback will still be called
- * asynchronously, hence it is *not* valid to call #bdrv_delete
- * immediately after #block_job_cancel_sync. Users of block jobs
- * will usually protect the BlockDriverState objects with a reference
- * count, should this be a concern.
+ * Synchronously cancel the job. The completion callback is called
+ * before the function returns. The job may actually complete
+ * instead of canceling itself; the circumstances under which this
+ * happens depend on the kind of job that is active.
*
* Returns the return value from the job if the job actually completed
* during the call, or -ECANCELED if it was canceled.
