Sorry, I meant to mention this last time...

The setting of handle_list to NULL seems unnecessary.  It is sufficient to
test if it is empty.
The only interesting case is the last 'else' above.  That is only reached if
worker_cnt_per_group != 0 so handle_list will get set to some list_head.
If all list_heads are empty, handle_list will be set to the last list_head
so a list_empty(handle_list) test is perfectly safe.

Also with the current code:

> +		  list_empty(handle_list) ? "empty" : "busy",
                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This will crash.


Could you fix that up please?
Thanks.
