[ Upstream commit 0687c66b5f666b5ad433f4e94251590d9bc9d10e ]

The debug_work_activate() is called on the premise that
the work can be inserted, because if wq be in WQ_DRAINING
status, insert work may be failed.

[ Upstream commit 01341fbd0d8d4e717fc1231cdffe00343088ce0b ]

In realtime scenario, We do not want to have interference on the
isolated cpu cores. but when invoking alloc_workqueue() for percpu wq
on the housekeeping cpu, it kick a kworker on the isolated cpu.

  alloc_workqueue
    pwq_adjust_max_active
      wake_up_worker

The comment in pwq_adjust_max_active() said:
  "Need to kick a worker after thawed or an unbound wq's
   max_active is bumped"

So it is unnecessary to kick a kworker for percpu's wq when invoking
alloc_workqueue(). this patch only kick a worker based on the actual
activation of delayed works.

<title>workqueue: don't use wq_select_unbound_cpu() for bound works</title>

<content type='text'>
commit aa202f1f56960c60e7befaa0f49c72b8fa11b0a8 upstream.

wq_select_unbound_cpu() is designed for unbound workqueues only, but
it's wrongly called when using a bound workqueue too.

Fixing this ensures work queued to a bound workqueue with
cpu=WORK_CPU_UNBOUND always runs on the local CPU.

Before, that would happen only if wq_unbound_cpumask happened to include
it (likely almost always the case), or was empty, or we got lucky with
forced round-robin placement.  So restricting
/sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/cpumask to a small subset of a machine's
CPUs would cause some bound work items to run unexpectedly there.

<title>workqueue: Fix pwq ref leak in rescuer_thread()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9e0f33da9079a3e4e3acd5bdf163963b901d8484</id>
<content type='text'>
commit e66b39af00f426b3356b96433d620cb3367ba1ff upstream.

008847f66c3 ("workqueue: allow rescuer thread to do more work.") made
the rescuer worker requeue the pwq immediately if there may be more
work items which need rescuing instead of waiting for the next mayday
timer expiration.  Unfortunately, it doesn't check whether the pwq is
already on the mayday list and unconditionally gets the ref and moves
it onto the list.  This doesn't corrupt the list but creates an
additional reference to the pwq.  It got queued twice but will only be
removed once.

This leak later can trigger pwq refcnt warning on workqueue
destruction and prevent freeing of the workqueue.

<id>urn:sha1:05905c2f2123a80dd8bdeee7f3178303ec97d08f</id>
<content type='text'>
commit def98c84b6cdf2eeea19ec5736e90e316df5206b upstream.

Before actually destrying a workqueue, destroy_workqueue() checks
whether it's actually idle.  If it isn't, it prints out a bunch of
warning messages and leaves the workqueue dangling.  It unfortunately
has a couple issues.

* Mayday list queueing increments pwq's refcnts which gets detected as
  busy and fails the sanity checks.  However, because mayday list
  queueing is asynchronous, this condition can happen without any
  actual work items left in the workqueue.

* Sanity check failure leaves the sysfs interface behind too which can
  lead to init failure of newer instances of the workqueue.

This patch fixes the above two by

* If a workqueue has a rescuer, disable and kill the rescuer before
  sanity checks.  Disabling and killing is guaranteed to flush the
  existing mayday list.

* Remove sysfs interface before sanity checks.

commit cb9d7fd51d9fbb329d182423bd7b92d0f8cb0e01 upstream.

Some architectures need to use stop_machine() to patch functions for
ftrace, and the assumption is that the stopped CPUs do not make function
calls to traceable functions when they are in the stopped state.

Commit ce4f06dcbb5d ("stop_machine: Touch_nmi_watchdog() after
MULTI_STOP_PREPARE") added calls to the watchdog touch functions from
the stopped CPUs and those functions lack notrace annotations.  This
leads to crashes when enabling/disabling ftrace on ARM kernels built
with the Thumb-2 instruction set.

Fix it by adding the necessary notrace annotations.

<title>workqueue: Allow retrieval of current task's work struct</title>

commit 27d4ee03078aba88c5e07dcc4917e8d01d046f38 upstream.

Introduce a helper to retrieve the current task's work struct if it is
a workqueue worker.

This allows us to fix a long-standing deadlock in several DRM drivers
wherein the -&gt;runtime_suspend callback waits for a specific worker to
finish and that worker in turn calls a function which waits for runtime
suspend to finish.  That function is invoked from multiple call sites
and waiting for runtime suspend to finish is the correct thing to do
except if it's executing in the context of the worker.

commit 62635ea8c18f0f62df4cc58379e4f1d33afd5801 upstream.

show_workqueue_state() can print out a lot of messages while being in
atomic context, e.g. sysrq-t -&gt; show_workqueue_state(). If the console
device is slow it may end up triggering NMI hard lockup watchdog.
