Subject: [PATCH 4/6] workqueue: commit worker to pool's concurrency setting atomically.
Date: Sat, 12 Apr 2014 18:45:33 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1397299543-12012-5-git-send-email-laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1397299543-12012-1-git-send-email-laijs@cn.fujitsu.com>

workers' concurrency setting need to be coordinate with pool's
concurrency setting when create_worker()/destroy_worker()/cpu_inline()
cpu_offline().

But create_worker() handles it non-atomically(not in a single pool->lock).
This patch makes the behavior atomically.

Now bind_list is used for coordinating workers' cpumask with the pool.
worker_idr is used for coordinating workers' concurrency with the pool.

cpumask is coordinated at first and then concurrency.

We don't want to remove worker_idr and re-use bind_list.
if we do so:
1) the locking will become much complex.
2) after removing worker_idr, we need to add a ida back
   we do not save any thing.
