The wait_queue_head_t kthread_work->done is unused since flush_kthread_work() has been re-implemented. Let's remove it including the initialization code.

If the worker is already executing a work item when another is queued, we can safely skip wakeup without worrying about stalling queue thus avoiding waking up the busy worker spuriously. Spurious wakeups should be fine but still isn't nice and avoiding it is trivial here. tj: Updated description.

After the locking was moved up to the caller of the get_unbound_pool(), out_unlock label doesn't need to do any unlock operation and the name became bad, so we just remove this label, and the only usage-site "goto out_unlock" is subsituted to "return pool".

In 75ccf595 ("workqueue: prepare flush_workqueue() for dynamic creation and destrucion of unbound pool_workqueues"), a comment about the synchronization for the pwq in pwq_unbound_release_workfn() was added. The comment claimed the flush_mutex wasn't strictly necessary, it was correct in that time, due to the pwq was protected by workqueue_lock. But it is incorrect now since the wq->flush_mutex was renamed to wq->mutex and workqueue_lock was removed, the wq->mutex is strictly needed. But the comment was miss-updated when the synchronization was changed. This patch removes the incorrect comments and doesn't add any new comment to explain why wq->mutex is needed here, which is definitely obvious and wq->pwqs_node has "WQ" notation in its definition which is better comment. The old commit mentioned above also introduced a comment in link_pwq() about the synchronization. This comment is also removed in this patch since the whole link_pwq() is proteced by wq->mutex.

In 51697d39 ("workqueue: use generic attach/detach routine for rescuers"), The rescuer detaches itself from the pool before put_pwq() so that the put_unbound_pool() will not destroy the rescuer-attached pool. It is unnecessary. worker_detach_from_pool() can be used as the last statement to access to the pool just like the regular workers, put_unbound_pool() will wait for it to detach and then free the pool. So we move the worker_detach_from_pool() down, make it coincide with the regular workers. tj: Minor description update.

Simply unfold the code of start_worker() into create_worker() and remove the original start_worker() and create_and_start_worker(). The only trade-off is the introduced overhead that the pool->lock is released and regrabbed after the newly worker is started. The overhead is acceptible since the manager is slow path. And because this new locking behavior, the newly created worker may grab the lock earlier than the manager and go to process work items. In this case, the recheck need_to_create_worker() may be true as expected and the manager goes to restart which is the correct behavior. tj: Minor updates to description and comments.

worker_set_flags() has only two callers, each specifying %true and %false for @wakeup. Let's push the wake up to the caller and remove @wakeup from worker_set_flags(). The caller can use the following instead if wakeup is necessary: worker_set_flags(); if (need_more_worker(pool)) wake_up_worker(pool); This makes the code simpler.

In process_one_work(): if ((worker->flags & WORKER_UNBOUND) && need_more_worker(pool)) wake_up_worker(pool); the first test is unneeded. Even if the first test is removed, it doesn't affect the wake-up logic for WORKER_UNBOUND, and it will not introduce any useless wake-ups for normal per-cpu workers since nr_running is always >= 1. It will introduce useless/redundant wake-ups for CPU_INTENSIVE, but this case is rare and the next patch will also remove this redundant wake-up. tj: Minor updates to the description and comment.

We don't need to wake up regular worker when nr_running==1, so need_more_worker() is sufficient here. And need_more_worker() gives us better readability due to the name of "keep_working()" implies the rescuer should keep working now but the rescuer is actually leaving.

a9ab775b ("workqueue: directly restore CPU affinity of workers from CPU_ONLINE") moved pool locking into rebind_workers() but left "pool->flags &= ~POOL_DISASSOCIATED" in workqueue_cpu_up_callback(). There is nothing necessarily wrong with it, but there is no benefit either. Let's move it into rebind_workers() and achieve the following benefits: 1) better readability, POOL_DISASSOCIATED is cleared in rebind_workers() as expected. 2) we can guarantee that, when POOL_DISASSOCIATED is clear, the running workers of the pool are on the local CPU (pool->cpu). tj: Minor description update.

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.

The commit ea1abd61 ("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 a9ab775b ("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".

The list is rcu-protected but here we cannot hold rcu_read_lock because we need to lock mutex inside. The obvious solution is to use list_for_each_entry_safe().

This reverts commit e1edf18b. This patch was a misguided attempt at fixing offb for LE ppc64 kernels on BE qemu but is just wrong ... it breaks real LE/LE setups, LE with real HW, and existing mixed endian systems that did the fight thing with the appropriate device-tree property. Bad reviewing on my part, sorry. The right fix is to either make qemu change its endian when the guest changes endian (working on that) or to use the existing foreign endian support.

Commit 3fd091e7 ("[SCTP]: Remove multiple levels of msecs to jiffies conversions.") has silently changed permissions for rto_alpha and rto_beta knobs from 0644 to 0444. The purpose of this was to discourage users from tweaking rto_alpha and rto_beta knobs in production environments since they are key to correctly compute rtt/srtt. RFC4960 under section 6.3.1. RTO Calculation says regarding rto_alpha and rto_beta under rule C3 and C4: [...] C3) When a new RTT measurement R' is made, set RTTVAR <- (1 - RTO.Beta) * RTTVAR + RTO.Beta * |SRTT - R'| and SRTT <- (1 - RTO.Alpha) * SRTT + RTO.Alpha * R' Note: The value of SRTT used in the update to RTTVAR is its value before updating SRTT itself using the second assignment. After the computation, update RTO <- SRTT + 4 * RTTVAR. C4) When data is in flight and when allowed by rule C5 below, a new RTT measurement MUST be made each round trip. Furthermore, new RTT measurements SHOULD be made no more than once per round trip for a given destination transport address. There are two reasons for this recommendation: First, it appears that measuring more frequently often does not in practice yield any significant benefit [ALLMAN99]; second, if measurements are made more often, then the values of RTO.Alpha and RTO.Beta in rule C3 above should be adjusted so that SRTT and RTTVAR still adjust to changes at roughly the same rate (in terms of how many round trips it takes them to reflect new values) as they would if making only one measurement per round-trip and using RTO.Alpha and RTO.Beta as given in rule C3. However, the exact nature of these adjustments remains a research issue. [...] While it is discouraged to adjust rto_alpha and rto_beta and not further specified how to adjust them, the RFC also doesn't explicitly forbid it, but rather gives a RECOMMENDED default value (rto_alpha=3, rto_beta=2). We have a couple of users relying on the old permissions before they got changed. That said, if someone really has the urge to adjust them, we could allow it with a warning in the log.

Geert reported issues regarding checksum complete and UDP. The logic introduced in commit 7e3cead5 ("net: Save software checksum complete") is not correct. This patch: 1) Restores code in __skb_checksum_complete_header except for setting CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. This function may be calculating checksum on something less than skb->len. 2) Adds saving checksum to __skb_checksum_complete. The full packet checksum 0..skb->len is calculated without adding in pseudo header. This value is saved in skb->csum and then the pseudo header is added to that to derive the checksum for validation. 3) In both __skb_checksum_complete_header and __skb_checksum_complete, set skb->csum_valid to whether checksum of zero was computed. This allows skb_csum_unnecessary to return true without changing to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY which was done previously. 4) Copy new csum related bits in __copy_skb_header.

Name the unnamed union as u in order to fix build failure" Let's do this instead: there is only one place in the entire tree that steps into this breakage. Anon structs and unions work in older gcc versions; as the matter of fact, we have those in the tree - see e.g. struct ieee80211_tx_info in include/net/mac80211.h What doesn't work is handling their initializers: struct { int a; union { int b; char c; }; } x[2] = {{.a = 1, .c = 'a'}, {.a = 0, .b = 1}}; is the obvious syntax for initializer, perfectly fine for C11 and handled correctly by gcc-4.7 or later. Earlier versions, though, break on it - declaration is fine and so's access to fields (i.e. x[0].c = 'a'; would produce the right code), but members of the anon structs and unions are not inserted into the right namespace. Tellingly, those older versions will not barf on struct {int a; struct {int a;};}; - looks like they just have it hacked up somewhere around the handling of . and -> instead of doing the right thing. The easiest way to deal with that crap is to turn initialization of those fields (in the only place where we have such initializer of iov_iter) into plain assignment.
