Subject[GIT PULL] workqueue: fixes for v2.6.36-rc3
Hello, Linus.

Please pull from the following branch to receive workqueue fixes for
v2.6.36-rc3.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq.git for-linus

The branch contains eight patches making the following changes.

* cwq->nr_active could underflow, which could lead to BUG_ON()
triggering on workqueue destruction and other work scheduling
oddities. The fix adds one bit to work struct flags enlarging the
alignment requirement for cpu_workqueues to 256 bytes. This will be
reduced again by dropping WORK_STRUCT_CWQ_BIT in the next merge
window.

* GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED and gcwq->mayday_mask initializations were
incorrect. This could make rescuers fall into infinite loops on
CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y configurations. CAI Qian verified the
fix.

* As worklist is shared by multiple workqueues now, it's important
that there's no work pending when a workqueue is being destroyed.
Some workqueue users didn't do this and ended up triggering BUG_ON()
during destroy_workqueue(), at which point it's not clear who caused
the problem. WQ_DYING flag is added so that work queueing attempts
after the final flush can be caught on queueing.

* Fix memory leak on destroy_workqueue().

* Sparse annotations and docbook update.

Thanks.
