[PATCH 6.18 22/83] workqueue: Add pool_workqueue to pending_pwqs list when unplugging multiple inactive works

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

6.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Matthew Brost <matthew.brost@intel.com>

commit 703ccb63ae9f7444d6ff876d024e17f628103c69 upstream.

In unplug_oldest_pwq(), the first inactive work item on the
pool_workqueue is activated correctly. However, if multiple inactive
works exist on the same pool_workqueue, subsequent works fail to
activate because wq_node_nr_active.pending_pwqs is empty — the list
insertion is skipped when the pool_workqueue is plugged.

Fix this by checking for additional inactive works in
unplug_oldest_pwq() and updating wq_node_nr_active.pending_pwqs
accordingly.

Fixes: 4c065dbce1e8 ("workqueue: Enable unbound cpumask update on ordered workqueues")

Boot-tested under QEMU for Rust x86_64, arm64 and riscv64; built-tested
for loongarch64:

(arm 32-bit seems to build-test fine as well. Same for UML x86_64 on
a non-debug configuration.)

The kernel compiled successfully on both architectures and booted
without issues.
I did not observe any regressions or new warnings in dmesg during boot.
