Subject: [PATCH 1/3] workqueue: preserve pwq->stats[] when unbound pwqs are released
Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2026 15:53:34 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261022155352.1293020-2-wfelipe@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261022155352.1293020-1-wfelipe@google.com>

When an unbound pool_workqueue is replaced (e.g. during CPU hotplug or
apply_workqueue_attrs()), pwq_release_workfn() unlinks and frees the old
pwq along with its pwq->stats[]. This causes cumulative per-workqueue
counters to go backwards.

Add retired_stats[] to struct workqueue_struct and accumulate a released
pwq's stats into wq->retired_stats[] under wq->mutex before freeing it.
