    workqueue: unfold start_worker() into create_worker() · 051e1850
    Lai Jiangshan 提交于
    Simply unfold the code of start_worker() into create_worker() and
    remove the original start_worker() and create_and_start_worker().
    
    The only trade-off is the introduced overhead that the pool->lock
    is released and regrabbed after the newly worker is started.
    The overhead is acceptible since the manager is slow path.
    
    And because this new locking behavior, the newly created worker
    may grab the lock earlier than the manager and go to process
    work items. In this case, the recheck need_to_create_worker() may be
    true as expected and the manager goes to restart which is the
    correct behavior.
