From eab6d82843ee1df244f8847d1bf8bb89160ec4aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lai Jiangshan Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2012 09:59:22 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] workqueue: WORKER_REBIND is no longer necessary for busy rebinding Because the old unbind/rebinding implementation wasn't atomic w.r.t. GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED manipulation which is protected by global_cwq->lock, we had to use two flags, WORKER_UNBOUND and WORKER_REBIND, to avoid incorrectly losing all NOT_RUNNING bits with back-to-back CPU hotplug operations; otherwise, completion of rebinding while another unbinding is in progress could clear UNBIND prematurely. Now that both unbind/rebinding are atomic w.r.t. GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED, there's no need to use two flags. Just one is enough. Don't use WORKER_REBIND for busy rebinding. tj: Updated description.
