tools/workqueue/wq_dump.py: Support backward compatibility for wq->attrs rename (2026-08-31 10:17:08 -1000)
----------------------------------------------------------------
workqueue: Fixes for v7.3-rc1
- An unbound worker pool could be freed while still reachable through the
pending-activation list, leading to a use-after-free. Unlink before
dropping the reference.
- On PREEMPT_RT, the BH workqueue kick raised softirqs from preemptible
context, tripping a lockdep assertion and possibly losing concurrently
raised softirq bits.
- Draining BH work off a dead CPU nests two pools' callback locks, which
lockdep misreported as recursive locking. The nesting cannot deadlock.
Annotate it.
- Reject watchdog thresholds that overflow the conversion to jiffies.
- Make the drgn workqueue dump script work again on kernels and vmcores
from before the workqueue attrs field rename.
