From 7576958a9d5a4a677ad7dd40901cdbb6c1110c98 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2011 14:04:46 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] workqueue: wake up a worker when a rescuer is leaving a gcwq After executing the matching works, a rescuer leaves the gcwq whether there are more pending works or not. This may decrease the concurrency level to zero and stall execution until a new work item is queued on the gcwq. Make rescuer wake up a regular worker when it leaves a gcwq if there are more works to execute, so that execution isn't stalled.
