[PATCH 06/21] workqueue: separate out pools locking into pools_mutex

From: Lai Jiangshan
Date: Tue Mar 19 2013 - 15:33:28 EST


currently wq_mutext protects:

* worker_pool_idr and unbound_pool_hash
* pool->refcnt
* workqueues list
* workqueue->flags, ->nr_drainers
* workqueue_freezing

We can see that it protects very different things.
So we need to split it and introduce a pools_mutex to protect:

* worker_pool_idr and unbound_pool_hash
* pool->refcnt

(all are pools related field.)

workqueue_freezing is special, it is protected by both of wq_mutext
pools_mutex. All are because get_unbound_pool() need to read it,
which are because POOL_FREEZING is a bad design which will be fixed later.
