Subject: [PATCH 1/2] workqueue: remove unneeded test before wake up next worker
Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2014 18:09:58 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1405505409-12058-1-git-send-email-laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)

In this code:
	if ((worker->flags & WORKER_UNBOUND) && need_more_worker(pool))
		wake_up_worker(pool);

the first test is unneeded. Even the first test is removed, it doesn't affect
the wake-up logic when WORKER_UNBOUND. And it will not introduce any useless
wake-up when !WORKER_UNBOUND since the nr_running >= 1 except only one case.
It will introduce useless/redundant wake-up when cpu_intensive, but this
case is rare and next patch will also remove this redundant wake-up.
