Subject: [GIT PULL] workqueue: changes for 2.6.38-rc5

Hello, Linus.

Please pull from the following git branch to receive workqueue changes
for 2.6.38-rc5.

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq.git fixes-2.6.38

The branch contains three patches.  Two of them fix the rescuer so
that they doen't get invoked too soon or stall work execution after
themselves.

The left patch substitutes 'freezeable' with 'freezable'.  The
spelling with an extra 'e' has been used by the workqueue from the
beginning but is different from what the PM code is using.  This is
not a fix but I think it would be the least painful to do this in
mainline while it is mostly stable.

Thank you.

Tejun Heo (3):
      workqueue: wake up a worker when a rescuer is leaving a gcwq
      workqueue, freezer: unify spelling of 'freeze' + 'able' to 'freezable'
      workqueue: make sure MAYDAY_INITIAL_TIMEOUT is at least 2 jiffies long
