In theory, pool->cpu is equals to @cpu in wq_worker_sleeping() after
worker->flags is checked.
And "pool->cpu != cpu" sanity check will help us if something wrong.

When a worker is detached, the worker->flags may still have WORKER_UNBOUND
or WORKER_REBOUND, it is OK for all cases:
1) if it is a normal worker, the worker will be dead, it is OK.
2) if it is a rescuer, it may re-attach to a pool with this leftover flag[s],
it is still correct except it may cause unneeded wakeup.
It is correct but not good, so we just remove the leftover flags.

The commit ea1abd6197d5 ("workqueue: reimplement idle worker rebinding")
used a trick which simply removes all to-be-bound idle workers from the
idle list and lets them add themselves back after completing rebinding.
And this trick caused the @worker_pool->nr_idle may deviate than the actual
number of idle workers on @worker_pool->idle_list. More specifically,
nr_idle may be non-zero while ->idle_list is empty. All users of
->nr_idle and ->idle_list are audited. The only affected one is
too_many_workers() which is updated to check %false if ->idle_list is
empty regardless of ->nr_idle.
The commit/trick was complicated due to it just tried to simplify an even
more complicated problem (workers had to rebind itself). But the commit
a9ab775bcadf ("workqueue: directly restore CPU affinity of workers
from CPU_ONLINE") fixed all these problems and the mentioned trick was
useless and is gone.
So, now the @worker_pool->nr_idle is exactly the actual number of workers
on @worker_pool->idle_list. too_many_workers() should recover as it was
before the trick. So we remove the empty check.

There is a piece of sanity checks code in the put_unbound_pool().
The meaning of this code is "if it is not an unbound pool, it will complain
and return" IIUC. But the code uses "pool->flags & POOL_DISASSOCIATED"
imprecisely due to a non-unbound pool may also have this flags.
We should use "pool->cpu < 0" to stand for an unbound pool, so we covert the
code to it.
There is no strictly wrong if we still keep "pool->flags & POOL_DISASSOCIATED"
here, but it is just a noise if we keep it:
1) we focus on "unbound" here, not "[dis]association".
2) "pool->cpu < 0" already implies "pool->flags & POOL_DISASSOCIATED".

This commit did an incorrect printk->pr_info conversion. If we were
converting to pr_info() we should lose the log_level parameter. The problem is
that this is called (indirectly) by show_regs_print_info(), which is called
with various log_levels (from _INFO clear to _EMERG). So we leave it as
a printk() call so the desired log_level is applied.
Not a full revert, as the other half of the patch is correct.

Currently, the global freezing state is propagated to worker_pools via
POOL_FREEZING and then to each workqueue; however, the middle step -
propagation through worker_pools - can be skipped as long as one or
more max_active adjustments happens for each workqueue after the
update to the global state is visible. The global workqueue freezing
state and the max_active adjustments during workqueue creation and
[un]freezing are serialized with wq_pool_mutex, so it's trivial to
guarantee that max_actives stay in sync with global freezing state.
POOL_FREEZING is unnecessary and makes the code more confusing and
complicates freeze_workqueues_begin() and thaw_workqueues() by
requiring them to walk through all pools.
Remove POOL_FREEZING and use workqueue_freezing directly instead.

There are several problems with the code that rescuers use to bind
themselve to the target pool's cpumask.
1) It is very different from how the normal workers bind to cpumask,
increasing code complexity and maintenance overhead.
2) The code of cpu-binding for rescuers is complicated.
3) If one or more cpu hotplugs happen while a rescuer is processing
its scheduled work items, the rescuer may not stay bound to the
cpumask of the pool. This is an allowed behavior, but is still
hairy. It will be better if the cpumask of the rescuer is always
kept synchronized with the pool across cpu hotplugs.
Using generic attach/detach routine will solve the above problems and
results in much simpler code.

manager_mutex is only used to protect the attaching for the pool
and the pool->workers list. It protects the pool->workers and operations
based on this list, such as:
cpu-binding for the workers in the pool->workers
the operations to set/clear WORKER_UNBOUND
So let's rename manager_mutex to attach_mutex to better reflect its
role. This patch is a pure rename.

In create_worker(), as pool->worker_ida now uses
ida_simple_get()/ida_simple_put() and doesn't require external
synchronization, it doesn't need manager_mutex.
struct worker allocation and kthread allocation are not visible by any
one before attached, so they don't need manager_mutex either.
The above operations are before the attaching operation which attaches
the worker to the pool. Between attaching and starting the worker, the
worker is already attached to the pool, so the cpu hotplug will handle
cpu-binding for the worker correctly and we don't need the
manager_mutex after attaching.
The conclusion is that only the attaching operation needs manager_mutex,
so we narrow the protection section of manager_mutex in create_worker().
Some comments about manager_mutex are removed, because we will rename
it to attach_mutex and add worker_attach_to_pool() later which will be
self-explanatory.

We no longer iterate workers via worker_idr and worker_idr is used
only for allocating/freeing ID, so we can convert it to worker_ida.
By using ida_simple_get/remove(), worker_ida doesn't require external
synchronization, so we don't need manager_mutex to protect it and the
ID-removal code is allowed to be moved out from
worker_detach_from_pool().
In a later patch, worker_detach_from_pool() will be used in rescuers
which don't have IDs, so we move the ID-removal code out from
worker_detach_from_pool() into worker_thread().

worker_idr has the iteration (iterating for attached workers) and
worker ID duties. These two duties don't have to be tied together. We
can separate them and use a list for tracking attached workers and
iteration.
Before this separation, it wasn't possible to add rescuer workers to
worker_idr due to rescuer workers couldn't allocate ID dynamically
because ID-allocation depends on memory-allocation, which rescuer
can't depend on.
After separation, we can easily add the rescuer workers to the list for
iteration without any memory-allocation. It is required when we attach
the rescuer worker to the pool in later patch.

Since destroy_worker() doesn't need to sleep nor require manager_mutex,
destroy_worker() can be directly called in the idle timeout
handler, it helps us remove POOL_MANAGE_WORKERS and
maybe_destroy_worker() and simplify the manage_workers()
After POOL_MANAGE_WORKERS is removed, worker_thread() doesn't
need to test whether it needs to manage after processed works.
So we can remove the test branch.

worker destruction includes these parts of code:
adjust pool's stats
remove the worker from idle list
detach the worker from the pool
kthread_stop() to wait for the worker's task exit
free the worker struct
We can find out that there is no essential work to do after
kthread_stop(), which means destroy_worker() doesn't need to wait for
the worker's task exit, so we can remove kthread_stop() and free the
worker struct in the worker exiting path.
However, put_unbound_pool() still needs to sync the all the workers'
destruction before destroying the pool; otherwise, the workers may
access to the invalid pool when they are exiting.
So we also move the code of "detach the worker" to the exiting
path and let put_unbound_pool() to sync with this code via
detach_completion.
The code of "detach the worker" is wrapped in a new function
"worker_detach_from_pool()" although worker_detach_from_pool() is only
called once (in worker_thread()) after this patch, but we need to wrap
it for these reasons:
1) The code of "detach the worker" is not short enough to unfold them
in worker_thread().
2) the name of "worker_detach_from_pool()" is self-comment, and we add
some comments above the function.
3) it will be shared by rescuer in later patch which allows rescuer
and normal thread use the same attach/detach frameworks.
The worker id is freed when detaching which happens before the worker
is fully dead, but this id of the dying worker may be re-used for a
new worker, so the dying worker's task name is changed to
"worker/dying" to avoid two or several workers having the same name.
Since "detach the worker" is moved out from destroy_worker(),
destroy_worker() doesn't require manager_mutex, so the
"lockdep_assert_held(&pool->manager_mutex)" in destroy_worker() is
removed, and destroy_worker() is not protected by manager_mutex in
put_unbound_pool().

We used to have the CPU online failure path where a worker is created
and then destroyed without being started. A worker was created for
the CPU coming online and if the online operation failed the created worker
was shut down without being started. But this behavior was changed.
The first worker is created and started at the same time for the CPU coming
online.
It means that we had already ensured in the code that destroy_worker()
destroys only idle workers and we don't want to allow it to destroy
any non-idle worker in the future. Otherwise, it may be buggy and it
may be extremely hard to check. We should force destroy_worker() to
destroy only idle workers explicitly.
Since destroy_worker() destroys only idle workers, this patch does not
change any functionality. We just need to update the comments and the
sanity check code.
In the sanity check code, we will refuse to destroy the worker
if !(worker->flags & WORKER_IDLE).
If the worker entered idle which means it is already started,
so we remove the check of "worker->flags & WORKER_STARTED",
after this removal, WORKER_STARTED is totally unneeded,
so we remove WORKER_STARTED too.
In the comments for create_worker(), "Create a new worker which is bound..."
is changed to "... which is attached..." due to we change the name of this
behavior to attaching.

Even after a pwq is scheduled for rescue, the associated work items
may be consumed by any worker. If all of them are consumed before the
rescuer gets to them and the pwq's base ref was put due to attribute
change, the pwq may be released while still being linked on

After a @pwq is scheduled for emergency execution, other workers may
consume the affectd work items before the rescuer gets to them. This
means that a workqueue many have pwqs queued on @wq->maydays list
while not having any work item pending or in-flight. If
destroy_workqueue() executes in such condition, the rescuer may exit
without emptying @wq->maydays.
This currently doesn't cause any actual harm. destroy_workqueue() can
safely destroy all the involved data structures whether @wq->maydays
is populated or not as nobody access the list once the rescuer exits.
However, this is nasty and makes future development difficult. Let's
update rescuer_thread() so that it empties @wq->maydays after seeing
should_stop to guarantee that the list is empty on rescuer exit.

wq_update_unbound_numa() failure path has the following two bugs.
- alloc_unbound_pwq() is called without holding wq->mutex; however, if
the allocation fails, it jumps to out_unlock which tries to unlock
wq->mutex.
- The function should switch to dfl_pwq on failure but didn't do so
after alloc_unbound_pwq() failure.
Fix it by regrabbing wq->mutex and jumping to use_dfl_pwq on
alloc_unbound_pwq() failure.

When a kworker should die, the kworkre is notified through WORKER_DIE
flag instead of kthread_should_stop(). This, IIRC, is primarily to
keep the test synchronized inside worker_pool lock. WORKER_DIE is
first set while holding pool->lock, the lock is dropped and
kthread_stop() is called.
Unfortunately, this means that there's a slight chance that the target
kworker may see WORKER_DIE before kthread_stop() finishes and exits
and frees the target task before or during kthread_stop().
Fix it by pinning the target task before setting WORKER_DIE and
putting it after kthread_stop() is done.

WORKER_DIE for better signify what it's protecting.

init_workqueues
When one work starts execution, the high bits of work's data contain
pool ID. It can represent a maximum of WORK_OFFQ_POOL_NONE. Pool ID
is assigned WORK_OFFQ_POOL_NONE when the work being initialized
indicating that no pool is associated and get_work_pool() uses it to
check the associated pool. So if worker_pool_assign_id() assigns a
ID greater than or equal WORK_OFFQ_POOL_NONE to a pool, it triggers
leakage, and it may break the non-reentrance guarantee.
This patch fix this issue by modifying the worker_pool_assign_id()
function calling idr_alloc() by setting @end param WORK_OFFQ_POOL_NONE.
Furthermore, in the current implementation, the BUILD_BUG_ON() in
init_workqueues makes no sense. The number of worker pools needed
cannot be determined at compile time, because the number of backing
pools for UNBOUND workqueues is dynamic based on the assigned custom
attributes. So remove it.

An ordered workqueue implements execution ordering by using single
pool_workqueue with max_active == 1. On a given pool_workqueue, work
items are processed in FIFO order and limiting max_active to 1
enforces the queued work items to be processed one by one.
Unfortunately, 4c16bd327c ("workqueue: implement NUMA affinity for
unbound workqueues") accidentally broke this guarantee by applying
NUMA affinity to ordered workqueues too. On NUMA setups, an ordered
workqueue would end up with separate pool_workqueues for different
nodes. Each pool_workqueue still limits max_active to 1 but multiple
work items may be executed concurrently and out of order depending on
which node they are queued to.
Fix it by using dedicated ordered_wq_attrs[] when creating ordered
workqueues. The new attrs match the unbound ones except that no_numa
is always set thus forcing all NUMA nodes to share the default
pool_workqueue.
While at it, add sanity check in workqueue creation path which
verifies that an ordered workqueues has only the default
pool_workqueue.

If !PREEMPT, a kworker running work items back to back can hog CPU.
This becomes dangerous when a self-requeueing work item which is
waiting for something to happen races against stop_machine. Such
self-requeueing work item would requeue itself indefinitely hogging
the kworker and CPU it's running on while stop_machine would wait for
that CPU to enter stop_machine while preventing anything else from
happening on all other CPUs. The two would deadlock.
Jamie Liu reports that this deadlock scenario exists around
scsi_requeue_run_queue() and libata port multiplier support, where one
port may exclude command processing from other ports. With the right
timing, scsi_requeue_run_queue() can end up requeueing itself trying
to execute an IO which is asked to be retried while another device has
an exclusive access, which in turn can't make forward progress due to
stop_machine.
Fix it by invoking cond_resched() after executing each work item.

The dev_attrs field of struct bus_type is going away soon, dev_groups
should be used instead. This converts the workqueue bus code to use
the correct field.

$echo '0' > /sys/bus/workqueue/devices/xxx/numa
$cat /sys/bus/workqueue/devices/xxx/numa
I got 1. It should be 0, the reason is copy_workqueue_attrs() called
in apply_workqueue_attrs() doesn't copy no_numa field.
Fix it by making copy_workqueue_attrs() copy ->no_numa too. This
would also make get_unbound_pool() set a pool's ->no_numa attribute
according to the workqueue attributes used when the pool was created.
While harmelss, as ->no_numa isn't a pool attribute, this is a bit
confusing. Clear it explicitly.

It is false-positive lockdep report. In this sutiation,
the two "wfc"s of the two work_on_cpu() are different,
they are both on stack. flush_work() can't be deadlock.
To fix this, we need to avoid the lockdep checking in this case,
thus we instroduce a internal __flush_work() which skip the lockdep.
