After the recent changes, when POOL_DISASSOCIATED is cleared, the
running worker's local CPU should be the same as pool->cpu without any
exception even during cpu-hotplug. Update the sanity check in
process_one_work() accordingly.
This patch changes "(proposition_A && proposition_B && proposition_C)"
to "(proposition_B && proposition_C)", so if the old compound
proposition is true, the new one must be true too. so this will not
hide any possible bug which can be caught by the old test.

The commit a9ab775bca ("workqueue: directly restore CPU affinity of
workers from CPU_ONLINE") moved the pool->lock into rebind_workers()
without also moving "pool->flags &= ~POOL_DISASSOCIATED".
There is nothing wrong with "pool->flags &= ~POOL_DISASSOCIATED" not
being moved together, but there isn't any benefit either. We move it
into rebind_workers() and achieve these benefits:
1) Better readability. POOL_DISASSOCIATED is cleared in
rebind_workers() as expected.
2) When POOL_DISASSOCIATED is cleared, we can ensure that all the
running workers of the pool are on the local CPU (pool->cpu).

The commit ea1abd6197 ("workqueue: reimplement idle worker rebinding")
used a trick which simply removes all to-be-bound idle workers from the
idle list and lets them add themselves back after completing rebinding.
And this trick caused the @worker_pool->nr_idle may deviate than the actual
number of idle workers on @worker_pool->idle_list. More specifically,
nr_idle may be non-zero while ->idle_list is empty. All users of
->nr_idle and ->idle_list are audited. The only affected one is
too_many_workers() which is updated to check %false if ->idle_list is
empty regardless of ->nr_idle.
The commit/trick was complicated due to it just tried to simplify an even
more complicated problem (workers had to rebind itself). But the commit
a9ab775bca ("workqueue: directly restore CPU affinity of workers
from CPU_ONLINE") fixed all these problems and the mentioned trick was
useless and is gone.
So, now the @worker_pool->nr_idle is exactly the actual number of workers
on @worker_pool->idle_list. too_many_workers() should recover as it was
before the trick. So we remove the empty check.

There is a piece of sanity checks code in the put_unbound_pool().
The meaning of this code is "if it is not an unbound pool, it will complain
and return" IIUC. But the code uses "pool->flags & POOL_DISASSOCIATED"
imprecisely due to a non-unbound pool may also have this flags.
We should use "pool->cpu < 0" to stand for an unbound pool, so we covert the
code to it.
There is no strictly wrong if we still keep "pool->flags & POOL_DISASSOCIATED"
here, but it is just a noise if we keep it:
1) we focus on "unbound" here, not "[dis]association".
2) "pool->cpu < 0" already implies "pool->flags & POOL_DISASSOCIATED".

that this is called (indirectly) by show_regs_print_info(), which is called

Currently, the global freezing state is propagated to worker_pools via
POOL_FREEZING and then to each workqueue; however, the middle step -
propagation through worker_pools - can be skipped as long as one or
more max_active adjustments happens for each workqueue after the
update to the global state is visible. The global workqueue freezing
state and the max_active adjustments during workqueue creation and
[un]freezing are serialized with wq_pool_mutex, so it's trivial to
guarantee that max_actives stay in sync with global freezing state.
POOL_FREEZING is unnecessary and makes the code more confusing and
complicates freeze_workqueues_begin() and thaw_workqueues() by
requiring them to walk through all pools.
Remove POOL_FREEZING and use workqueue_freezing directly instead.

There are several problems with the code that rescuers use to bind
themselve to the target pool's cpumask.
1) It is very different from how the normal workers bind to cpumask,
increasing code complexity and maintenance overhead.
2) The code of cpu-binding for rescuers is complicated.
3) If one or more cpu hotplugs happen while a rescuer is processing
its scheduled work items, the rescuer may not stay bound to the
cpumask of the pool. This is an allowed behavior, but is still
hairy. It will be better if the cpumask of the rescuer is always
kept synchronized with the pool across cpu hotplugs.
Using generic attach/detach routine will solve the above problems and
results in much simpler code.

In create_worker(), as pool->worker_ida now uses
ida_simple_get()/ida_simple_put() and doesn't require external
synchronization, it doesn't need manager_mutex.
struct worker allocation and kthread allocation are not visible by any
one before attached, so they don't need manager_mutex either.
The above operations are before the attaching operation which attaches
the worker to the pool. Between attaching and starting the worker, the
worker is already attached to the pool, so the cpu hotplug will handle
cpu-binding for the worker correctly and we don't need the
manager_mutex after attaching.
The conclusion is that only the attaching operation needs manager_mutex,
so we narrow the protection section of manager_mutex in create_worker().
Some comments about manager_mutex are removed, because we will rename
it to attach_mutex and add worker_attach_to_pool() later which will be

worker_idr has the iteration (iterating for attached workers) and
worker ID duties. These two duties don't have to be tied together. We
can separate them and use a list for tracking attached workers and
iteration.
Before this separation, it wasn't possible to add rescuer workers to
worker_idr due to rescuer workers couldn't allocate ID dynamically
because ID-allocation depends on memory-allocation, which rescuer
can't depend on.
After separation, we can easily add the rescuer workers to the list for
iteration without any memory-allocation. It is required when we attach
the rescuer worker to the pool in later patch.

worker destruction includes these parts of code:
adjust pool's stats
remove the worker from idle list
detach the worker from the pool
kthread_stop() to wait for the worker's task exit
free the worker struct
We can find out that there is no essential work to do after
kthread_stop(), which means destroy_worker() doesn't need to wait for
the worker's task exit, so we can remove kthread_stop() and free the
worker struct in the worker exiting path.
However, put_unbound_pool() still needs to sync the all the workers'
destruction before destroying the pool; otherwise, the workers may
access to the invalid pool when they are exiting.
So we also move the code of "detach the worker" to the exiting
path and let put_unbound_pool() to sync with this code via
detach_completion.
The code of "detach the worker" is wrapped in a new function
"worker_detach_from_pool()" although worker_detach_from_pool() is only
called once (in worker_thread()) after this patch, but we need to wrap
it for these reasons:
1) The code of "detach the worker" is not short enough to unfold them
in worker_thread().
2) the name of "worker_detach_from_pool()" is self-comment, and we add
some comments above the function.
3) it will be shared by rescuer in later patch which allows rescuer
and normal thread use the same attach/detach frameworks.
The worker id is freed when detaching which happens before the worker
is fully dead, but this id of the dying worker may be re-used for a
new worker, so the dying worker's task name is changed to
"worker/dying" to avoid two or several workers having the same name.
Since "detach the worker" is moved out from destroy_worker(),
destroy_worker() doesn't require manager_mutex, so the
"lockdep_assert_held(&pool->manager_mutex)" in destroy_worker() is
removed, and destroy_worker() is not protected by manager_mutex in
put_unbound_pool().

We used to have the CPU online failure path where a worker is created
and then destroyed without being started. A worker was created for
the CPU coming online and if the online operation failed the created worker
was shut down without being started. But this behavior was changed.
The first worker is created and started at the same time for the CPU coming
online.
It means that we had already ensured in the code that destroy_worker()
destroys only idle workers and we don't want to allow it to destroy
any non-idle worker in the future. Otherwise, it may be buggy and it
may be extremely hard to check. We should force destroy_worker() to
destroy only idle workers explicitly.
Since destroy_worker() destroys only idle workers, this patch does not
change any functionality. We just need to update the comments and the
sanity check code.
In the sanity check code, we will refuse to destroy the worker
if !(worker->flags & WORKER_IDLE).
If the worker entered idle which means it is already started,
so we remove the check of "worker->flags & WORKER_STARTED",
after this removal, WORKER_STARTED is totally unneeded,
so we remove WORKER_STARTED too.
In the comments for create_worker(), "Create a new worker which is bound..."
is changed to "... which is attached..." due to we change the name of this
behavior to attaching.

When a kworker should die, the kworkre is notified through WORKER_DIE
flag instead of kthread_should_stop(). This, IIRC, is primarily to
keep the test synchronized inside worker_pool lock. WORKER_DIE is
first set while holding pool->lock, the lock is dropped and
kthread_stop() is called.
Unfortunately, this means that there's a slight chance that the target
kworker may see WORKER_DIE before kthread_stop() finishes and exits
and frees the target task before or during kthread_stop().
Fix it by pinning the target task before setting WORKER_DIE and

When one work starts execution, the high bits of work's data contain
pool ID. It can represent a maximum of WORK_OFFQ_POOL_NONE. Pool ID
is assigned WORK_OFFQ_POOL_NONE when the work being initialized
indicating that no pool is associated and get_work_pool() uses it to
check the associated pool. So if worker_pool_assign_id() assigns a
ID greater than or equal WORK_OFFQ_POOL_NONE to a pool, it triggers
leakage, and it may break the non-reentrance guarantee.
This patch fix this issue by modifying the worker_pool_assign_id()
function calling idr_alloc() by setting @end param WORK_OFFQ_POOL_NONE.
Furthermore, in the current implementation, the BUILD_BUG_ON() in
init_workqueues makes no sense. The number of worker pools needed
cannot be determined at compile time, because the number of backing
pools for UNBOUND workqueues is dynamic based on the assigned custom
attributes. So remove it.

An ordered workqueue implements execution ordering by using single
pool_workqueue with max_active == 1. On a given pool_workqueue, work
items are processed in FIFO order and limiting max_active to 1
enforces the queued work items to be processed one by one.
Unfortunately, 4c16bd327c ("workqueue: implement NUMA affinity for
unbound workqueues") accidentally broke this guarantee by applying
NUMA affinity to ordered workqueues too. On NUMA setups, an ordered
workqueue would end up with separate pool_workqueues for different
nodes. Each pool_workqueue still limits max_active to 1 but multiple
work items may be executed concurrently and out of order depending on
which node they are queued to.
Fix it by using dedicated ordered_wq_attrs[] when creating ordered
workqueues. The new attrs match the unbound ones except that no_numa
is always set thus forcing all NUMA nodes to share the default
pool_workqueue.
While at it, add sanity check in workqueue creation path which
verifies that an ordered workqueues has only the default
pool_workqueue.

If !PREEMPT, a kworker running work items back to back can hog CPU.
This becomes dangerous when a self-requeueing work item which is
waiting for something to happen races against stop_machine. Such
self-requeueing work item would requeue itself indefinitely hogging
the kworker and CPU it's running on while stop_machine would wait for
that CPU to enter stop_machine while preventing anything else from
happening on all other CPUs. The two would deadlock.
Jamie Liu reports that this deadlock scenario exists around
scsi_requeue_run_queue() and libata port multiplier support, where one
port may exclude command processing from other ports. With the right
timing, scsi_requeue_run_queue() can end up requeueing itself trying
to execute an IO which is asked to be retried while another device has
an exclusive access, which in turn can't make forward progress due to
stop_machine.
Fix it by invoking cond_resched() after executing each work item.

It is false-positive lockdep report. In this sutiation,
the two "wfc"s of the two work_on_cpu() are different,
they are both on stack. flush_work() can't be deadlock.
To fix this, we need to avoid the lockdep checking in this case,
thus we instroduce a internal __flush_work() which skip the lockdep.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in
the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include)
that don't really have a specific maintainer.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
"Surprisingly, Lai and I didn't break too many things implementing
custom pools and stuff last time around and there aren't any follow-up
changes necessary at this point.
The only change in this pull request is Viresh's patches to make some
per-cpu workqueues to behave as unbound workqueues dependent on a boot
param whose default can be configured via a config option. This leads
to higher processing overhead / lower bandwidth as more work items are
bounced across CPUs; however, it can lead to noticeable powersave in
certain configurations - ~10% w/ idlish constant workload on a
big.LITTLE configuration according to Viresh.
This is because per-cpu workqueues interfere with how the scheduler
perceives whether or not each CPU is idle by forcing pinned tasks on
them, which makes the scheduler's power-aware scheduling decisions
less effective.
Its effectiveness is likely less pronounced on homogenous
configurations and this type of optimization can probably be made
automatic; however, the changes are pretty minimal and the affected
workqueues are clearly marked, so it's an easy gain for some
configurations for the time being with pretty unintrusive changes."

Workqueues can be performance or power-oriented. Currently, most workqueues are
bound to the CPU they were created on. This gives good performance (due to cache
effects) at the cost of potentially waking up otherwise idle cores (Idle from
scheduler's perspective. Which may or may not be physically idle) just to
process some work. To save power, we can allow the work to be rescheduled on a
core that is already awake.
Workqueues created with the WQ_UNBOUND flag will allow some power savings.
However, we don't change the default behaviour of the system. To enable
power-saving behaviour, a new config option CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT needs to
be turned on. This option can also be overridden by the
workqueue.power_efficient boot parameter.

CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT to CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT_DEFAULT.

One of the problems that arise when converting dedicated custom
threadpool to workqueue is that the shared worker pool used by workqueue
anonimizes each worker making it more difficult to identify what the
worker was doing on which target from the output of sysrq-t or debug
dump from oops, BUG() and friends.
This patch implements set_worker_desc() which can be called from any
workqueue work function to set its description. When the worker task is
dumped for whatever reason - sysrq-t, WARN, BUG, oops, lockdep assertion
and so on - the description will be printed out together with the
workqueue name and the worker function pointer.
The printing side is implemented by print_worker_info() which is called
from functions in task dump paths - sched_show_task() and
dump_stack_print_info(). print_worker_info() can be safely called on
any task in any state as long as the task struct itself is accessible.
It uses probe_*() functions to access worker fields. It may print
garbage if something went very wrong, but it wouldn't cause (another)
oops.
The description is currently limited to 24bytes including the
terminating \0. worker->desc_valid and workder->desc[] are added and
the 64 bytes marker which was already incorrect before adding the new
fields is moved to the correct position.
Here's an example dump with writeback updated to set the bdi name as
worker desc.

destroy_workqueue() performs several sanity checks before proceeding
with destruction of a workqueue. One of the checks verifies that
refcnt of each pwq (pool_workqueue) is over 1 as at that point there
should be no in-flight work items and the only holder of pwq refs is
the workqueue itself.
This worked fine as a workqueue used to hold only one reference to its
pwqs; however, since 4c16bd327c ("workqueue: implement NUMA affinity
for unbound workqueues"), a workqueue may hold multiple references to
its default pwq triggering this sanity check spuriously.
Fix it by not triggering the pwq->refcnt assertion on default pwqs.

Merge tag 'v3.9-rc5' into wq/for-3.10
Writeback conversion to workqueue will be based on top of wq/for-3.10
branch to take advantage of custom attrs and NUMA support for unbound
workqueues. Mainline currently contains two commits which result in
non-trivial merge conflicts with wq/for-3.10 and because
block/for-3.10/core is based on v3.9-rc3 which contains one of the
conflicting commits, we need a pre-merge-window merge anyway. Let's
pull v3.9-rc5 into wq/for-3.10 so that the block tree doesn't suffer
from workqueue merge conflicts.
The two conflicts and their resolutions:
* e68035fb65 ("workqueue: convert to idr_alloc()") in mainline changes
worker_pool_assign_id() to use idr_alloc() instead of the old idr
interface. worker_pool_assign_id() goes through multiple locking
changes in wq/for-3.10 causing the following conflict.
static int worker_pool_assign_id(struct worker_pool *pool)
{
int ret;
<<<<<<< HEAD
lockdep_assert_held(&wq_pool_mutex);
do {
if (!idr_pre_get(&worker_pool_idr, GFP_KERNEL))
return -ENOMEM;
ret = idr_get_new(&worker_pool_idr, pool, &pool->id);
} while (ret == -EAGAIN);
=======
mutex_lock(&worker_pool_idr_mutex);
ret = idr_alloc(&worker_pool_idr, pool, 0, 0, GFP_KERNEL);
if (ret >= 0)
pool->id = ret;
mutex_unlock(&worker_pool_idr_mutex);
>>>>>>> c67bf5361e7e66a0ff1f4caf95f89347d55dfb89
return ret < 0 ? ret : 0;
}
We want locking from the former and idr_alloc() usage from the
latter, which can be combined to the following.
static int worker_pool_assign_id(struct worker_pool *pool)
{
int ret;
lockdep_assert_held(&wq_pool_mutex);
ret = idr_alloc(&worker_pool_idr, pool, 0, 0, GFP_KERNEL);
if (ret >= 0) {
pool->id = ret;
return 0;
}
return ret;
}
* eb2834285c ("workqueue: fix possible pool stall bug in
wq_unbind_fn()") updated wq_unbind_fn() such that it has single
larger for_each_std_worker_pool() loop instead of two separate loops
with a schedule() call inbetween. wq/for-3.10 renamed
pool->assoc_mutex to pool->manager_mutex causing the following
conflict (earlier function body and comments omitted for brevity).
static void wq_unbind_fn(struct work_struct *work)
{
...
spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock);
<<<<<<< HEAD
mutex_unlock(&pool->manager_mutex);
}

atomic_set(&pool->nr_running, 0);
spin_lock_irq(&pool->lock);
wake_up_worker(pool);
spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock);
}
}
The resolution is mostly trivial. We want the control flow of the
latter with the rename of the former.
static void wq_unbind_fn(struct work_struct *work)
{
...
spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock);
mutex_unlock(&pool->manager_mutex);

atomic_set(&pool->nr_running, 0);

wake_up_worker(pool);
spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock);
}

Unbound workqueues are now NUMA aware. Let's add some control knobs
and update sysfs interface accordingly.
* Add kernel param workqueue.numa_disable which disables NUMA affinity
globally.
* Replace sysfs file "pool_id" with "pool_ids" which contain
node:pool_id pairs. This change is userland-visible but "pool_id"
hasn't seen a release yet, so this is okay.
* Add a new sysf files "numa" which can toggle NUMA affinity on
individual workqueues. This is implemented as attrs->no_numa whichn
is special in that it isn't part of a pool's attributes. It only
affects how apply_workqueue_attrs() picks which pools to use.
After "pool_ids" change, first_pwq() doesn't have any user left.

Currently, an unbound workqueue has single current, or first, pwq
(pool_workqueue) to which all new work items are queued. This often
isn't optimal on NUMA machines as workers may jump around across node
boundaries and work items get assigned to workers without any regard
to NUMA affinity.
This patch implements NUMA affinity for unbound workqueues. Instead
of mapping all entries of numa_pwq_tbl[] to the same pwq,
apply_workqueue_attrs() now creates a separate pwq covering the
intersecting CPUs for each NUMA node which has online CPUs in
@attrs->cpumask. Nodes which don't have intersecting possible CPUs
are mapped to pwqs covering whole @attrs->cpumask.
As CPUs come up and go down, the pool association is changed
accordingly. Changing pool association may involve allocating new
pools which may fail. To avoid failing CPU_DOWN, each workqueue
always keeps a default pwq which covers whole attrs->cpumask which is
used as fallback if pool creation fails during a CPU hotplug
operation.
This ensures that all work items issued on a NUMA node is executed on
the same node as long as the workqueue allows execution on the CPUs of
the node.
As this maps a workqueue to multiple pwqs and max_active is per-pwq,
this change the behavior of max_active. The limit is now per NUMA
node instead of global. While this is an actual change, max_active is
already per-cpu for per-cpu workqueues and primarily used as safety
mechanism rather than for active concurrency control. Concurrency is
usually limited from workqueue users by the number of concurrently
active work items and this change shouldn't matter much.
v2: Fixed pwq freeing in apply_workqueue_attrs() error path. Spotted
by Lai.
v3: The previous version incorrectly made a workqueue spanning
multiple nodes spread work items over all online CPUs when some of
its nodes don't have any desired cpus. Reimplemented so that NUMA
affinity is properly updated as CPUs go up and down. This problem
was spotted by Lai Jiangshan.
v4: destroy_workqueue() was putting wq->dfl_pwq and then clearing it;
however, wq may be freed at any time after dfl_pwq is put making
the clearing use-after-free. Clear wq->dfl_pwq before putting it.
v5: apply_workqueue_attrs() was leaking @tmp_attrs, @new_attrs and
@pwq_tbl after success. Fixed.
Retry loop in wq_update_unbound_numa_attrs() isn't necessary as
application of new attrs is excluded via CPU hotplug. Removed.
Documentation on CPU affinity guarantee on CPU_DOWN added.

Move wq->flags and ->cpu_pwqs to the end of workqueue_struct and align
them to the cacheline. These two fields are used in the work item
issue path and thus hot. The scheduled NUMA affinity support will add
dispatch table at the end of workqueue_struct and relocating these two
fields will allow us hitting only single cacheline on hot paths.
Note that wq->pwqs isn't moved although it currently is being used in

mentioned above will replace its use in the issue path, so it will

When worker tasks are created using kthread_create_on_node(),
currently only per-cpu ones have the matching NUMA node specified.
All unbound workers are always created with NUMA_NO_NODE.
Now that an unbound worker pool may have an arbitrary cpumask
associated with it, this isn't optimal. Add pool->node which is
determined by the pool's cpumask. If the pool's cpumask is contained
inside a NUMA node proper, the pool is associated with that node, and
all workers of the pool are created on that node.
This currently only makes difference for unbound worker pools with
cpumask contained inside single NUMA node, but this will serve as

as they use the CPU number instead of pool->id to identify the pool
and the 'H' postfix is the only thing distinguishing normal and
highpri workers.
As workers for unbound pools use pool->id, the 'H' postfix is purely
informational. TASK_COMM_LEN is 16 and after the static part and
delimiters, there are only five characters left for the pool and
worker IDs. We're expecting to have more unbound pools with the

With the recent addition of the custom attributes support, unbound
pools may have allowed cpumask which isn't full. As long as some of
CPUs in the cpumask are online, its workers will maintain cpus_allowed
as set on worker creation; however, once no online CPU is left in
cpus_allowed, the scheduler will reset cpus_allowed of any workers
which get scheduled so that they can execute.
To remain compliant to the user-specified configuration, CPU affinity
needs to be restored when a CPU becomes online for an unbound pool
which doesn't currently have any online CPUs before.
This patch implement restore_unbound_workers_cpumask(), which is
called from CPU_ONLINE for all unbound pools, checks whether the
coming up CPU is the first allowed online one, and, if so, invokes
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() with the configured cpumask on all workers.

Rebinding workers of a per-cpu pool after a CPU comes online involves
a lot of back-and-forth mostly because only the task itself could
adjust CPU affinity if PF_THREAD_BOUND was set.
As CPU_ONLINE itself couldn't adjust affinity, it had to somehow
coerce the workers themselves to perform set_cpus_allowed_ptr(). Due
to the various states a worker can be in, this led to three different
paths a worker may be rebound. worker->rebind_work is queued to busy
workers. Idle ones are signaled by unlinking worker->entry and call
idle_worker_rebind(). The manager isn't covered by either and
implements its own mechanism.
PF_THREAD_BOUND has been relaced with PF_NO_SETAFFINITY and CPU_ONLINE
itself now can manipulate CPU affinity of workers. This patch
replaces the existing rebind mechanism with direct one where
CPU_ONLINE iterates over all workers using for_each_pool_worker(),
restores CPU affinity, and clears WORKER_UNBOUND.
There are a couple subtleties. All bound idle workers should have
their runqueues set to that of the bound CPU; however, if the target
task isn't running, set_cpus_allowed_ptr() just updates the
cpus_allowed mask deferring the actual migration to when the task
wakes up. This is worked around by waking up idle workers after
restoring CPU affinity before any workers can become bound.
Another subtlety is stems from matching @pool->nr_running with the
number of running unbound workers. While DISASSOCIATED, all workers
are unbound and nr_running is zero. As workers become bound again,
nr_running needs to be adjusted accordingly; however, there is no good
way to tell whether a given worker is running without poking into
scheduler internals. Instead of clearing UNBOUND directly,
rebind_workers() replaces UNBOUND with another new NOT_RUNNING flag -
REBOUND, which will later be cleared by the workers themselves while
preparing for the next round of work item execution. The only change
needed for the workers is clearing REBOUND along with PREP.
* This patch leaves for_each_busy_worker() without any user. Removed.
* idle_worker_rebind(), busy_worker_rebind_fn(), worker->rebind_work
and rebind logic in manager_workers() removed.

PF_THREAD_BOUND was originally used to mark kernel threads which were

set allows cpus_allowed modifications only to itself. Workqueue is
currently abusing it to prevent userland from meddling with
cpus_allowed of workqueue workers.
What we need is a flag to prevent userland from messing with
cpus_allowed of certain kernel tasks. In kernel, anyone can
(incorrectly) squash the flag, and, for worker-type usages,
restricting cpus_allowed modification to the task itself doesn't
provide meaningful extra proection as other tasks can inject work

Manager operations are currently governed by two mutexes -

operations including creation and destruction of workers. Anyone who
grabs ->manager_arb must perform manager role; otherwise, the pool
might stall.
Grabbing ->assoc_mutex blocks everyone else from performing manager
operations but doesn't require the holder to perform manager duties as
it's merely blocking manager operations without becoming the manager.
Because the blocking was necessary when [dis]associating per-cpu
workqueues during CPU hotplug events, the latter was named
assoc_mutex. The mutex is scheduled to be used for other purposes, so

A new pwq is linked at the head of wq->pwqs instead of tail and
__queue_work() verifies that the first unbound pwq has positive refcnt
before choosing it for the actual queueing. This is to cover the case
where creation of a new pwq races with queueing. As base ref on a pwq
won't be dropped without making another pwq the first one,
__queue_work() is guaranteed to make progress and not add work item to
a dead pwq.

Note that apply_workqueue_attrs() is almost identical to unbound pwq
part of alloc_and_link_pwqs(). The only difference is that there is

Add pool_workqueue->refcnt along with get/put_pwq(). Both per-cpu and
unbound pwqs have refcnts and any work item inserted on a pwq
increments the refcnt which is dropped when the work item finishes.
For per-cpu pwqs the base ref is never dropped and destroy_workqueue()
frees the pwqs as before. For unbound ones, destroy_workqueue()
simply drops the base ref on the first pwq. When the refcnt reaches
zero, pwq_unbound_release_workfn() is scheduled on system_wq, which
unlinks the pwq, puts the associated pool and frees the pwq and wq as
necessary. This needs to be done from a work item as put_pwq() needs
to be protected by pool->lock but release can't happen with the lock
held - e.g. put_unbound_pool() involves blocking operations.
Unbound pool->locks are marked with lockdep subclas 1 as put_pwq()
will schedule the release work item on system_wq while holding the
unbound pool's lock and triggers recursive locking warning spuriously.
This will be used to implement dynamic creation and destruction of
unbound pwqs.

This patch makes unbound worker_pools reference counted and
dynamically created and destroyed as workqueues needing them come and
go. All unbound worker_pools are hashed on unbound_pool_hash which is
keyed by the content of worker_pool->attrs.
When an unbound workqueue is allocated, get_unbound_pool() is called
with the attributes of the workqueue. If there already is a matching
worker_pool, the reference count is bumped and the pool is returned.
If not, a new worker_pool with matching attributes is created and
returned.
When an unbound workqueue is destroyed, put_unbound_pool() is called
which decrements the reference count of the associated worker_pool.
If the refcnt reaches zero, the worker_pool is destroyed in sched-RCU
safe way.
Note that the standard unbound worker_pools - normal and highpri ones
with no specific cpumask affinity - are no longer created explicitly
during init_workqueues(). init_workqueues() only initializes
workqueue_attrs to be used for standard unbound pools -
unbound_std_wq_attrs[]. The pools are spawned on demand as workqueues
are created.
v2: - Comment added to init_worker_pool() explaining that @pool should
be in a condition which can be passed to put_unbound_pool() even

The three freeze/thaw related functions - freeze_workqueues_begin(),
freeze_workqueues_busy() and thaw_workqueues() - need to iterate
through all pool_workqueues of all freezable workqueues. They did it
by first iterating pools and then visiting all pwqs (pool_workqueues)
of all workqueues and process it if its pwq->pool matches the current
pool. This is rather backwards and done this way partly because
workqueue didn't have fitting iteration helpers and partly to avoid
the number of lock operations on pool->lock.
Workqueue now has fitting iterators and the locking operation overhead
isn't anything to worry about - those locks are unlikely to be
contended and the same CPU visiting the same set of locks multiple
times isn't expensive.
Restructure the three functions such that the flow better matches the
logical steps and pwq iteration is done using for_each_pwq() inside
workqueue iteration.
* freeze_workqueues_begin(): Setting of FREEZING is moved into a
separate for_each_pool() iteration. pwq iteration for clearing
max_active is updated as described above.
* freeze_workqueues_busy(): pwq iteration updated as described above.
* thaw_workqueues(): The single for_each_wq_cpu() iteration is broken
into three discrete steps - clearing FREEZING, restoring max_active,
and kicking workers. The first and last steps use for_each_pool()
and the second step uses pwq iteration described above.
This makes the code easier to understand and removes the use of
for_each_wq_cpu() for walking pwqs, which can't support multiple
unbound pwqs which will be needed to implement unbound workqueues with
custom attributes.

Since multiple pools per cpu have been introduced, wq_unbind_fn() has
a subtle bug which may theoretically stall work item processing. The
problem is two-fold.
* wq_unbind_fn() depends on the worker executing wq_unbind_fn() itself
to start unbound chain execution, which works fine when there was
only single pool. With multiple pools, only the pool which is
running wq_unbind_fn() - the highpri one - is guaranteed to have
such kick-off. The other pool could stall when its busy workers
block.
* The current code is setting WORKER_UNBIND / POOL_DISASSOCIATED of
the two pools in succession without initiating work execution
inbetween. Because setting the flags requires grabbing assoc_mutex
which is held while new workers are created, this could lead to
stalls if a pool's manager is waiting for the previous pool's work
items to release memory. This is almost purely theoretical tho.
Update wq_unbind_fn() such that it sets WORKER_UNBIND /
POOL_DISASSOCIATED, goes over schedule() and explicitly kicks off
execution for a pool and then moves on to the next one.

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
