From d313dd85ad846bc768d58e9ceb28588f917f4c9a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Fri, 2 Jul 2010 10:03:51 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] workqueue: fix worker management invocation without pending works When there's no pending work to do, worker_thread() goes back to sleep after waking up without checking whether worker management is necessary. This means that idle worker exit requests can be ignored if the gcwq stays empty. Fix it by making worker_thread() always check whether worker management is necessary before going to sleep.
