[PATCH 3/6] workqueue: protect wq->nr_drainers and ->flags with wq->mutex

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Mon Mar 25 2013 - 20:09:05 EST


From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

We're expanding wq->mutex to cover all fields specific to each
workqueue with the end goal of replacing pwq_lock which will make
locking simpler and easier to understand.

wq->nr_drainers and ->flags are specific to each workqueue. Protect
->nr_drainers and ->flags with wq->mutex instead of pool_mutex.

tj: Rebased on top of the current dev branch. Updated description.
