Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y 1/2] workqueue: release pwq pools by pool type
Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2026 11:14:14 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261022150730.1630145-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026102148-outpour-epilogue-a40f@gregkh>
From: Breno Leitao <leitao@debian.org>
[ Upstream commit 3180ee71b676845603274c66f6bb5528939cf470 ]
Add is_percpu_pool() and test the pool directly for per cpu. Convert the
other open-coded pool->cpu checks -- in put_unbound_pool(),
pool_allowed_cpus() and the workqueue watchdog -- to the same helper.
No functional change.

Use a single-evaluation macro for the pool predicate. Keep the existing
watchdog timestamp and reporting behavior, converting only its pool-type
test; the newer stall-duration accounting is absent.
