Subject: [PATCH 2/3] workqueue: Maintain pwq->total_in_flight
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2026 11:09:28 -1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901210929.3092513-3-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260901210929.3092513-1-tj@kernel.org>
pwq_busy() scans all of pwq->nr_in_flight[] to tell whether anything is in
flight. Maintain the sum in pwq->total_in_flight, which fits in existing
padding, and test that instead.
