Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/2] workqueue: Fix hotplug races
Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2021 01:06:10 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211130000612.591368-1-frederic@kernel.org> (raw)

While triggering rcutorture splats, I couldn't trace down to the exact
cause due to the issue being tracing-unfriendly. But looking at the code,
those two potential races look like plausible causes and also after
these two patches, I couldn't reproduce the rcutorture issues again (yet...).
