Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2011 14:09:54 +0100 From: Tejun Heo <tj@...nel.org> To: Ray Jui <rjui@...adcom.com> Cc: "linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org" <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: [PATCH wq#fixes-2.6.38] workqueue: wake up a worker when a rescuer is leaving a gcwq After executing the matching works, a rescuer leaves the gcwq whether there are more pending works or not. This may decrease the concurrency level to zero and stall execution until a new work item is queued on the gcwq. Make rescuer wake up a regular worker when it leaves a gcwq if there are more works to execute, so that execution isn't stalled.
