    workqueue: rename worker_pool->assoc_mutex to ->manager_mutex · bc3a1afc
    Tejun Heo 提交于
    Manager operations are currently governed by two mutexes -
    pool->manager_arb and ->assoc_mutex.  The former is used to decide who
    gets to be the manager and the latter to exclude the actual manager
    operations including creation and destruction of workers.  Anyone who
    grabs ->manager_arb must perform manager role; otherwise, the pool
    might stall.
    
    Grabbing ->assoc_mutex blocks everyone else from performing manager
    operations but doesn't require the holder to perform manager duties as
    it's merely blocking manager operations without becoming the manager.
    
    Because the blocking was necessary when [dis]associating per-cpu
    workqueues during CPU hotplug events, the latter was named
    assoc_mutex.  The mutex is scheduled to be used for other purposes, so
    this patch gives it a more fitting generic name - manager_mutex - and
    updates / adds comments to explain synchronization around the manager
    role and operations.
    
    This patch is pure rename / doc update.
