      WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context data · 65f27f38
      David Howells 提交于
      Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
      The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.
      
      For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
      pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
      structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.
      
      To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
      work_struct.  This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.
      
      Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
      scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
      work function.  This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
      that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
      else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated..  This is a
      problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).
      
      However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
      function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
      with no problems.  But then the work function must itself release the
      work_struct by calling work_release().
      
      In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default.  Special
      initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

      Revert "ACPI: created a dedicated workqueue for notify() execution" · b976fe19
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This reverts commit 37605a69.
      
      Again.
      
      This same bug has now been introduced twice: it was done earlier by
      commit b8d35192, only to be reverted
      last time in commit 72945b2b.
      
      We must NOT try to queue up notify handlers to another thread than the
      normal ACPI execution thread, because the notifications on some systems
      seem to just keep on accumulating until we run out of memory and/or
      threads.
      
      Keeping events within the one deferred execution thread automatically
      throttles the events properly.
      
      At least the Compaq N620c will lock up completely on the first thermal
      event without this patch reverted.
