workqueue: remove unused cancel_work()

2018-03-13T20:37:42Z

Found this by accident. There are no usages of bare cancel_work() in current kernel source. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

workqueue: use put_device() instead of kfree()

2018-03-13T20:26:03Z

Never directly free @dev after calling device_register(), even if it returned an error! Always use put_device() to give up the reference initialized in this function instead. Signed-off-by: Arvind Yadav Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

workqueue: Allow retrieval of current task's work struct

2018-02-16T21:24:25Z

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 ->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.

Pull staging/IIO updates from Greg KH: "Here is the big Staging and IIO driver patches for 4.16-rc1. There is the normal amount of new IIO drivers added, like all releases. The networking IPX and the ncpfs filesystem are moved into the staging tree, as they are on their way out of the kernel due to lack of use anymore. The visorbus subsystem finall has started moving out of the staging tree to the "real" part of the kernel, and the most and fsl-mc codebases are almost ready to move out, that will probably happen for 4.17-rc1 if all goes well. Other than that, there is a bunch of license header cleanups in the tree, along with the normal amount of coding style churn that we all know and love for this codebase. I also got frustrated at the Meltdown/Spectre mess and took it out on the dgnc tty driver, deleting huge chunks of it that were never even being used. Full details of everything is in the shortlog.

2018-01-30T22:45:39Z

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo: "Workqueue has an early init trick where workqueues can be created and work items queued on them before the workqueue subsystem is online. This helps simplifying early init and operation of low level subsystems which use workqueues for managerial things which aren't depended upon early during boot. Out of laziness, the early init didn't cover workqueues with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM, which is inconsistent and confusing because adding the flag simply makes the system fail to boot. Cover WQ_MEM_RECLAIM too. This was originally brought up for RCU but RCU didn't actually need this. I still think it's a good idea to cover it" * 'for-4.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: workqueue: allow WQ_MEM_RECLAIM on early init workqueues workqueue: separate out init_rescuer()

staging: lustre: lnet: convert selftest to use workqueues

2018-01-15T14:44:08Z

Instead of the cfs workitem library, use workqueues. As lnet wants to provide a cpu mask of allowed cpus, it needs to be a WQ_UNBOUND work queue so that tasks can run on cpus other than where they were submitted. This patch also exported apply_workqueue_attrs() which is a documented part of the workqueue API, that isn't currently exported. lustre needs it to allow workqueue thread to be limited to a subset of CPUs.

workqueue: avoid hard lockups in show_workqueue_state()

2018-01-12T19:39:49Z

show_workqueue_state() can print out a lot of messages while being in atomic context, e.g. sysrq-t -> show_workqueue_state(). If the console device is slow it may end up triggering NMI hard lockup watchdog. Signed-off-by: Sergey Senozhatsky Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.5+

workqueue: allow WQ_MEM_RECLAIM on early init workqueues

2018-01-08T13:38:37Z

Workqueues can be created early during boot before workqueue subsystem in fully online - work items are queued waiting for later full initialization. However, early init wasn't supported for WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueues causing unnecessary annoyances for a subset of users. Expand early init support to include WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueues.
