From fa2563e41c3d6d6e8af437643981ed28ae0cb56d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Tuttle Date: Wed, 14 Sep 2011 16:22:28 -0700 Subject: workqueue: lock cwq access in drain_workqueue Take cwq->gcwq->lock to avoid racing between drain_workqueue checking to make sure the workqueues are empty and cwq_dec_nr_in_flight decrementing and then incrementing nr_active when it activates a delayed work. We discovered this when a corner case in one of our drivers resulted in us trying to destroy a workqueue in which the remaining work would always requeue itself again in the same workqueue. We would hit this race condition and trip the BUG_ON on workqueue.c:3080.
