| |
Hello, Linus.
* The code around workqueue scheduler hooks got reorganized early 2019 which unfortuately introdued a couple subtle and rare race conditions where preemption can mangle internal workqueue state triggering a WARN and possibly causing a stall or at least delay in execution. Frederic fixed both early December and the fixes were sitting in for-5.16-fixes which I forgot to push. Merged into this pull request. I'll forward them to stable after they land.
* The scheduler hook reorganization has more implicatoins for workqueue code in that the hooks are now more strictly synchronized and thus the interacting operations can become more straight-forward. Lai is in the process of simplifying workqueue code and this pull request contains some of the patches.
Thanks.
