Subject: [PATCH] workqueue: improve the draining/destroying warning in __queue_work
Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2026 15:33:45 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261103143345.3803307-1-hch@lst.de> (raw)
Tell which of the two conditions hit. And to avoid makign the code even
harder to read, move the WARN_ONCE out of the condition triggering it.
