Revision ff497452636f4687e517964817b7e2bd99f4b44b authored by Linus Torvalds on 30 August 2013, 00:02:48 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 30 August 2013, 00:02:48 UTC
Pull workqueue fix from Tejun Heo: "This contains one fix which could lead to system-wide lockup on !PREEMPT kernels. It's very late in the cycle but this definitely is a -stable material. The problem is that workqueue worker tasks may process unlimited number of work items back-to-back without every yielding inbetween. This usually isn't noticeable but a work item which re-queues itself waiting for someone else to do something can deadlock with stop_machine. stop_machine will ensure nothing else happens on all other cpus and the requeueing work item will reqeueue itself indefinitely without ever yielding and thus preventing the CPU from entering stop_machine. Kudos to Jamie Liu for spotting and diagnosing the problem. This can be trivially fixed by adding cond_resched() after processing each work item" * 'for-3.11-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: workqueue: cond_resched() after processing each work item
