Surprisingly nothing critical relied on this direction, but this might

Now that we don't need the common flags to overflow outside the range
of a 32-bit type we can encode them the same way for both the bio and

first (and make some room for more ops while we're at it) and to
stop having to shift around the operation values.

In addition this allows passing around only one value in the block layer
instead of two (and eventuall also in the file systems, but we can do
that later) and thus clean up a lot of code.

Last but not least this allows decreasing the size of the cmd_flags

Condensing the two semantically unrelated things saves few bytes but it

This patch allows to make kthread worker freezable via a new @flags
parameter. It will allow to avoid an init work in some kthreads.

It currently does not affect the function of kthread_worker_fn()
but it might help to do some optimization or fixes eventually.

I currently do not know about any other use for the @flags

in the future.

Finally, I hope that it will not cause confusion with @flags member

basic kthreads implementation once all kthreads are converted into
kthread workers or workqueues. It is possible that we will merge

There are situations when we need to modify the delay of a delayed kthread
work. For example, when the work depends on an event and the initial delay
means a timeout. Then we want to queue the work immediately when the event
happens.

This patch implements kthread_mod_delayed_work() as inspired workqueues.
It cancels the timer, removes the work from any worker list and queues it
again with the given timeout.

A very special case is when the work is being canceled at the same time.
It might happen because of the regular kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync()
or by another kthread_mod_delayed_work(). In this case, we do nothing and
let the other operation win. This should not normally happen as the caller
is supposed to synchronize these operations a reasonable way.

We are going to use kthread workers more widely and sometimes we will need
to make sure that the work is neither pending nor running.

This patch implements cancel_*_sync() operations as inspired by
workqueues.  Well, we are synchronized against the other operations via
the worker lock, we use del_timer_sync() and a counter to count parallel
cancel operations.  Therefore the implementation might be easier.

First, we check if a worker is assigned.  If not, the work has newer been
queued after it was initialized.

Second, we take the worker lock.  It must be the right one.  The work must
not be assigned to another worker unless it is initialized in between.

Third, we try to cancel the timer when it exists.  The timer is deleted
synchronously to make sure that the timer call back is not running.  We
need to temporary release the worker->lock to avoid a possible deadlock
with the callback.  In the meantime, we set work->canceling counter to
avoid any queuing.

Fourth, we try to remove the work from a worker list. It might be
the list of either normal or delayed works.

Fifth, if the work is running, we call kthread_flush_work().  It might
take an arbitrary time.  We need to release the worker-lock again.  In the
meantime, we again block any queuing by the canceling counter.

As already mentioned, the check for a pending kthread work is done under a
lock.  In compare with workqueues, we do not need to fight for a single
PENDING bit to block other operations.  Therefore we do not suffer from
the thundering storm problem and all parallel canceling jobs might use
kthread_flush_work().  Any queuing is blocked until the counter gets zero.

We are going to use kthread_worker more widely and delayed works
will be pretty useful.

The implementation is inspired by workqueues.  It uses a timer to queue
the work after the requested delay.  If the delay is zero, the work is
queued immediately.

In compare with workqueues, each work is associated with a single worker
(kthread).  Therefore the implementation could be much easier.  In
particular, we use the worker->lock to synchronize all the operations with
the work.  We do not need any atomic operation with a flags variable.

In fact, we do not need any state variable at all.  Instead, we add a list
of delayed works into the worker.  Then the pending work is listed either
in the list of queued or delayed works.  And the existing check of pending
works is the same even for the delayed ones.

A work must not be assigned to another worker unless reinitialized.
Therefore the timer handler might expect that dwork->work->worker is valid
and it could simply take the lock.  We just add some sanity checks to help
with debugging a potential misuse.

The current kthread worker users call flush() and stop() explicitly.
This function does the same plus it frees the kthread_worker struct
in one call.

It is supposed to be used together with kthread_create_worker*() that
allocates struct kthread_worker.

Kthread workers are currently created using the classic kthread API,
namely kthread_run().  kthread_worker_fn() is passed as the @threadfn
parameter.

This patch defines kthread_create_worker() and
kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() functions that hide implementation details.

They enforce using kthread_worker_fn() for the main thread.  But I doubt
that there are any plans to create any alternative.  In fact, I think that
we do not want any alternative main thread because it would be hard to
support consistency with the rest of the kthread worker API.

The naming and function of kthread_create_worker() is inspired by the
workqueues API like the rest of the kthread worker API.

The kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() variant is motivated by the original
kthread_create_on_cpu().  Note that we need to bind per-CPU kthread
workers already when they are created.  It makes the life easier.
kthread_bind() could not be used later for an already running worker.

This patch does _not_ convert existing kthread workers.  The kthread
worker API need more improvements first, e.g.  a function to destroy the
worker.

IMPORTANT:

kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() allows to use any format of the worker
name, in compare with kthread_create_on_cpu().  The good thing is that it
is more generic.  The bad thing is that most users will need to pass the
cpu number in two parameters, e.g.  kthread_create_worker_on_cpu(cpu,
"helper/%d", cpu).

To be honest, the main motivation was to avoid the need for an empty
va_list.  The only legal way was to create a helper function that would be
called with an empty list.  Other attempts caused compilation warnings or
even errors on different architectures.

There were also other alternatives, for example, using #define or
splitting __kthread_create_worker().  The used solution looked like the
least ugly.

A good practice is to prefix the names of functions by the name
of the subsystem.

The kthread worker API is a mix of classic kthreads and workqueues.  Each
worker has a dedicated kthread.  It runs a generic function that process
queued works.  It is implemented as part of the kthread subsystem.

This patch renames the existing kthread worker API to use
the corresponding name from the workqueues API prefixed by
kthread_:

__init_kthread_worker()		-> __kthread_init_worker()
init_kthread_worker()		-> kthread_init_worker()
init_kthread_work()		-> kthread_init_work()
insert_kthread_work()		-> kthread_insert_work()
queue_kthread_work()		-> kthread_queue_work()
flush_kthread_work()		-> kthread_flush_work()
flush_kthread_worker()		-> kthread_flush_worker()

Note that the names of DEFINE_KTHREAD_WORK*() macros stay
as they are. It is common that the "DEFINE_" prefix has
precedence over the subsystem names.

Note that INIT() macros and init() functions use different
naming scheme. There is no good solution. There are several
reasons for this solution:

  + "init" in the function names stands for the verb "initialize"
    aka "initialize worker". While "INIT" in the macro names
    stands for the noun "INITIALIZER" aka "worker initializer".

  + INIT() macros are used only in DEFINE() macros

  + init() functions are used close to the other kthread()
    functions. It looks much better if all the functions
    use the same scheme.

  + There will be also kthread_destroy_worker() that will
    be used close to kthread_cancel_work(). It is related
    to the init() function. Again it looks better if all
    functions use the same naming scheme.

  + there are several precedents for such init() function
    names, e.g. amd_iommu_init_device(), free_area_init_node(),
    jump_label_init_type(),  regmap_init_mmio_clk(),

  + It is not an argument but it was inconsistent even before.
