Subject: [PATCH 2/3 V2] workqueue: ensure the wq_worker_sleeping() see the right flags
Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2012 19:34:38 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1346153686-3380-2-git-send-email-laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1346153686-3380-1-git-send-email-laijs@cn.fujitsu.com>

The compiler may compile this code into TWO write/modify instructions.
		worker->flags &= ~WORKER_UNBOUND;
		worker->flags |= WORKER_REBIND;

so the other CPU may see the temporary of worker->flags which has
not WORKER_UNBOUND nor WORKER_REBIND, it will wrongly do local wake up.

So we simply change the code that WORKER_UNBOUND is cleared in
busy_worker_rebind_fn(), not in rebind_workers(). And REBIND is not
used for busy_worker, busy_worker_rebind_fn() knows itself need
to do rebind when it is called.

Because the rebind_workers() will wait busy_worker_rebind_fn() to
finish rebinding and clearing, the CPU can't be offline,
busy_worker_rebind_fn() will not clear the wrong WORKER_UNBOUND.
