This patch adds lock_map_acquire_read() and make process_one_work() hold read access to the workqueue while executing a work and start_flush_work() check for write access if concurrnecy level is one or the workqueue has a rescuer (as only one execution resource - the rescuer - is guaranteed to be available under memory pressure), and read access if higher. This better represents what's going on and removes spurious lockdep warnings which are triggered by fake dependency chain created through flush_work(). * Peter pointed out that flushing another work from a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM wq breaks forward progress guarantee under memory pressure. Condition check accordingly updated. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Reported-by: "Rafael J. Wysocki" Tested-by: "Rafael J.
