Subject: [PATCH 1/2] workqueue: rescuer_thread() processes all pwqs before exit
Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2014 07:34:08 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1397691258-11639-1-git-send-email-laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140416165052.GK1257@htj.dyndns.org>
Before the rescuer is picked to running, the works of the @pwq
may be processed by some other workers, and destroy_workqueue()
may called at the same time. This may result a nasty situation
that rescuer may exit with non-empty mayday list.
It is no harm currently, destroy_workqueue() can safely to free
them all(workqueue&pwqs) togerther, since the rescuer is stopped.
No rescuer nor mayday-timer can access the mayday list.
But it is nasty and error-prone in future develop. Fix it.
