    workqueue: Replace pool->attach_mutex with global wq_pool_attach_mutex · 1258fae7
    Tejun Heo authored
    To improve workqueue visibility, we want to be able to access
    workqueue information from worker tasks.  The per-pool attach mutex
    makes that difficult because there's no way of stabilizing task ->
    worker pool association without knowing the pool first.
    
    Worker attach/detach is a slow path and there's no need for different
    pools to be able to perform them concurrently.  This patch replaces
    the per-pool attach_mutex with global wq_pool_attach_mutex to prepare
    for visibility improvement changes.
