Subject: [PATCH 113/330] sched/workqueue: Only wake up idle workers if not
|
|
blocked on sleeping spin lock
|
|
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.19/older/patches-4.19.127-rt55.tar.xz
|
|
|
|
In -rt, most spin_locks() turn into mutexes. One of these spin_lock
|
|
conversions is performed on the workqueue gcwq->lock. When the idle
|
|
worker is worken, the first thing it will do is grab that same lock and
|
|
it too will block, possibly jumping into the same code, but because
|
|
nr_running would already be decremented it prevents an infinite loop.
|
|
|
|
But this is still a waste of CPU cycles, and it doesn't follow the method
|
|
of mainline, as new workers should only be woken when a worker thread is
|
|
truly going to sleep, and not just blocked on a spin_lock().
|
|
|
|
Check the saved_state too before waking up new workers.
