Subject: [PATCH] workqueue: let WORKER_CPU_INTENSIVE be included in watchdog
Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2023 18:23:07 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230811102250.GA7959@didi-ThinkCentre-M930t-N000> (raw)

When a pool has a worker with WORKER_CPU_INTENSIVE set but other workers
are not that busy, the pool->worklist will mostly be empty, which leads
the intensive work always having a chance of escaping from the watchdog's
check. This may cause watchdog miss finding out a forever running work
in WQ_CPU_INTENSIVE.

Also, after commit '616db8779b1e3f93075df691432cccc5ef3c3ba0',
workers with potentially intensive works will automatically be converted
into WORKER_CPU_INTENSIVE. This might let watchdog to miss all work
potentially running forever.
