From a0a1a5fd4fb15ec61117c759fe9f5c16c53d9e9c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Tue, 29 Jun 2010 10:07:12 +0200 Subject: workqueue: reimplement workqueue freeze using max_active Currently, workqueue freezing is implemented by marking the worker freezeable and calling try_to_freeze() from dispatch loop. Reimplement it using cwq->limit so that the workqueue is frozen instead of the worker. * workqueue_struct->saved_max_active is added which stores the specified max_active on initialization. * On freeze, all cwq->max_active's are quenched to zero. Freezing is complete when nr_active on all cwqs reach zero. * On thaw, all cwq->max_active's are restored to wq->saved_max_active and the worklist is repopulated. This new implementation allows having single shared pool of workers per cpu.
