Subject: [PATCH workqueue/for-3.18-fixes 1/2] workqueue: invert the order between pool->lock and wq_mayday_lock
Date: Thu, 4 Dec 2014 10:11:04 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141204151104.GD15219@htj.dyndns.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20141203180241.GD5013@htj.dyndns.org>

Currently, pool->lock nests inside pool->lock.  There's no inherent
reason for this order.  The only place where the two locks are held
together is pool_mayday_timeout() and it just got decided that way.

This nesting order turns out to complicate things with the planned
rescuer_thread() update.  Let's invert them.  This doesn't cause any
behavior differences.
