From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 9 May 2007 09:34:46 +0000 (-0700) Subject: make cancel_rearming_delayed_work() reliable X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6e84d644b5929789398914b0ccf447355dec6fb0;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git make cancel_rearming_delayed_work() reliable Thanks to Jarek Poplawski for the ideas and for spotting the bug in the initial draft patch. cancel_rearming_delayed_work() currently has many limitations, because it requires that dwork always re-arms itself via queue_delayed_work(). So it hangs forever if dwork doesn't do this, or cancel_rearming_delayed_work/ cancel_delayed_work was already called. It uses flush_workqueue() in a loop, so it can't be used if workqueue was freezed, and it is potentially live- lockable on busy system if delay is small. With this patch cancel_rearming_delayed_work() doesn't make any assumptions about dwork, it can re-arm itself via queue_delayed_work(), or queue_work(), or do nothing. As a "side effect", cancel_work_sync() was changed to handle re-arming works as well. Disadvantages: - this patch adds wmb() to insert_work(). - slowdowns the fast path (when del_timer() succeeds on entry) of cancel_rearming_delayed_work(), because wait_on_work() is called unconditionally. In that case, compared to the old version, we are doing "unneeded" lock/unlock for each online CPU. On the other hand, this means we don't need to use cancel_work_sync() after cancel_rearming_delayed_work(). - complicates the code (.text grows by 130 bytes).
