<id>urn:sha1:470e77ea879585a8a2e8f264877b113d2b68074f</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:sha1:20caa355f3d4dfd0e5725947d5e4c501c99ed972</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.

<content type='text'>
Change the calling convention for apply_workqueue_attrs to require CPU
hotplug read exclusion.

Avoids lockdep complaints about nested calls to get_online_cpus in a
future patch where padata calls apply_workqueue_attrs when changing
other CPU-hotplug-sensitive data structures with the CPU read lock
already held.

padata will use these these interfaces in a later patch, so unconfine them.

  doesn't really buy us anything noticeable"

   Only the first byte is checked for simplicity.

 - Make vsprintf warnings consistent and inlined.

 - Treewide conversion of obsolete %pf, %pF to %ps, %pF printf
   modifiers.

 - Some clean up of vsprintf and test_printf code.
