From bc8b50c2dfac946c1beed782c1823e52cf55a352 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Mon, 7 Aug 2023 15:57:22 -1000 Subject: workqueue: Drop the special locking rule for worker->flags and worker_pool->flags worker->flags used to be accessed from scheduler hooks without grabbing pool->lock for concurrency management. This is no longer true since 6d25be5782e4 ("sched/core, workqueues: Distangle worker accounting from rq lock"). Also, it's unclear why worker_pool->flags was using the "X" rule. All relevant users are accessing it under the pool lock. Let's drop the special "X" rule and use the "L" rule for these flag fields instead. While at it, replace the CONTEXT comment with lockdep_assert_held(). This allows worker_set/clr_flags() to be used from context which isn't the worker itself. This will be used later to implement assinging work items to workers before waking them up so that workqueue can have better control over which worker executes which work item on which CPU. The only actual changes are sanity checks. There shouldn't be any visible behavior changes.
