Move the code "worker->pool = NULL;" out from detach_worker() to fix the problem. worker->pool had been designed to be constant for regular workers and changeable for rescuer. To share attaching/detaching code for regular and rescuer workers and to avoid worker->pool being accessed inadvertently when the worker has been detached, worker->pool is reset to NULL when detached no matter the worker is rescuer or not. To maintain worker->pool being reset after detached, move the code "worker->pool = NULL;" in the worker thread context after detached. It is either be in the regular worker thread context after PF_WQ_WORKER is cleared or in rescuer worker thread context with wq_pool_attach_mutex held. So it is safe to do so.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Move declaration of interface_lock outside of CONFIG_TIMERLAT_TRACER The fix to some locking races moved the declaration of the interface_lock up in the file, but also moved it into the CONFIG_TIMERLAT_TRACER #ifdef block, breaking the build when that wasn't set. Move it further up and out of that #ifdef block. - Remove unused function run_tracer_selftest() stub When CONFIG_FTRACE_STARTUP_TEST is not set the stub function run_tracer_selftest() is not used and clang is warning about it. Remove the function stub as it is not needed. * tag 'trace-v6.11-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: tracing: Drop unused helper function to fix the build tracing/osnoise: Fix build when timerlat is not enabled

tracing: Drop unused helper function to fix the build

2024-09-09T20:04:25Z

A helper function defined but not used. This, in particular, prevents kernel builds with clang, `make W=1` and CONFIG_WERROR=y: kernel/trace/trace.c:2229:19: error: unused function 'run_tracer_selftest' [-Werror,-Wunused-function] 2229 | static inline int run_tracer_selftest(struct tracer *type) | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fix this by dropping unused functions. See also commit 6863f5643dd7 ("kbuild: allow Clang to find unused static inline functions for W=1 build").

tracing/osnoise: Fix build when timerlat is not enabled

2024-09-09T20:03:57Z

To fix some critical section races, the interface_lock was added to a few locations. One of those locations was above where the interface_lock was declared, so the declaration was moved up before that usage. Unfortunately, where it was placed was inside a CONFIG_TIMERLAT_TRACER ifdef block. As the interface_lock is used outside that config, this broke the build when CONFIG_OSNOISE_TRACER was enabled but CONFIG_TIMERLAT_TRACER was not.
