[PATCH 11/17] workqueue: make hotplug processing per-pool

Tejun Heo
2013-01-17T01:43:17Z

Instead of holding locks from both pools and then processing the pools
together, make hotplug processing per-pool - grab locks of one pool,
process it, release it and then proceed to the next pool.

rebind_workers() is updated to take and process @pool instead of @gcwq
which results in a lot of de-indentation. gcwq_claim_assoc_and_lock()
and its counterpart are replaced with in-line per-pool locking.

While this patch changes processing order across pools, order within
each pool remains the same. As each pool is independent, this
shouldn't break anything.

This is part of an effort to remove global_cwq and make worker_pool
the top level abstraction, which in turn will help implementing worker
pools with user-specified attributes.
