Hi all,

After merging the workqueues tree, today's linux-next build (htmldocs)
produced this warning:

Oops, sorry about missing that. Will fix.

Hello,

I applied the following patch to wq/for-6.10.

The offending line wasn't introduced recently tho. It goes way back.
5797b1c18919 just touches the surrounding lines. Maybe that triggered
something?

Thanks.

Ah, sorry. I made it worse. I should have selected IRQ_WORK from SMP not
depend on it. Will update. Thank you.

That warning is likely by the following function comment:

/**
  * unplug_oldest_pwq - restart an oldest plugged pool_workqueue
  * @wq: workqueue_struct to be restarted
  *
  * pwq's are linked into wq->pwqs with the oldest first. For ordered
  * workqueues, only the oldest pwq is unplugged, the others are plugged to
  * suspend execution until the oldest one is drained. When this 
happens, the
  * next oldest one (first plugged pwq in iteration) will be unplugged to
  * restart work item execution to ensure proper work item ordering.
  *
  *    dfl_pwq --------------+     [P] - plugged
  *                          |

  *            1    3        5
  *            |    |        |
  *            2    4        6
  */

One possible solution is to take out one '*' of the leading "/**" so 
that it is not regarded as an inline documentation block. Any other 
suggestion is welcome.

Valentin, this is caused by rebind_worker() being only used by
rebind_workers() which is inside CONFIG_SMP. I don't see any other uses of
rebind_worker(). Just fold it back into rebind_workers()?

Thanks.

Woops! Yes I only did it to keep things aligned with unbind_workers(), let
me resend with that folded back in. Sorry!

Unless you'd prefer a fixup patch on top of those you've already picked up?

Yeah, just send another patch to fold it back in.

Hi Tejun,
