Subject: [PATCH] workqueue: fix leak of active
Date: Mon, 17 Sep 2012 10:40:05 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <50568D85.5030309@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)

try_to_grab_pending() leave LINKED tagalong in delayed queue when
it deletes a work. This behavior will cause future
cwq_activate_first_delayed() increase the ->nr_active wrongly,
and may cause the whole cwq frozen.

example:

state:	cwq->max_active = 1, cwq->nr_active = 1
	one work in cwq->pool, many in cwq->delayed_works.

step1:	try_to_grab_pending() remove a work from delayed_works but leave tagalong.
step2:	when the work in cwq->pool is finished, cwq_activate_first_delayed()
	move the tagalong to cwq->pool and increase the ->nr_active.

current state: cwq->nr_active = 1, but works of the cwq in cwq->pool are all NO_COLOR,
	so even when these works are finished, cwq->nr_active will not be decreased,
	and no work will be moved from cwq->delayed_works. the cwq is frozen.

Fix it by moving the tagalong to cwq->pool in try_to_grab_pending().
