It's now workqueue module param which can be updated at runtime. If there's no objection, I'll push the two patches through wq/for-4.5. Thanks. ------ 8< ------ Workqueue stalls can happen from a variety of usage bugs such as missing WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag or concurrency managed work item indefinitely staying RUNNING. These stalls can be extremely difficult to hunt down because the usual warning mechanisms can't detect workqueue stalls and the internal state is pretty opaque. To alleviate the situation, this patch implements workqueue lockup detector. It periodically monitors all worker_pools periodically and, if any pool failed to make forward progress longer than the threshold duration, triggers warning and dumps workqueue state as follows. BUG: workqueue lockup - pool cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 stuck for 31s! Showing busy workqueues and worker pools: workqueue events: flags=0x0 pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=17/256 pending: monkey_wrench_fn, e1000_watchdog, cache_reap, vmstat_shepherd, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, cgroup_release_agent workqueue events_power_efficient: flags=0x80 pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=2/256 pending: check_lifetime, neigh_periodic_work workqueue cgroup_pidlist_destroy: flags=0x0 pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=1/1 pending: cgroup_pidlist_destroy_work_fn ... The detection mechanism is controller through kernel parameter workqueue.watchdog_thresh and can be updated at runtime through the sysfs module parameter file. v2: Decoupled from softlockup control knobs.
