I see...

Worker A : acquired of wfc.work -> wait for cpu_hotplug_lock to be released
Task B : acquired of cpu_hotplug_lock -> wait for lock#3 to be released
Task C : acquired of lock#3 -> wait for completion of barr->done
Worker D : wait for wfc.work to be released -> will complete barr->done

The report below is telling that a deadlock would happen if the four tasks
run simultaniously. Here, I wonder if wfc.work sould be acquired with a
write version. I am not familiar with workqueue. Could anyone explain it
for me?

Thank you,
Byungchul
