Subject: [PATCH 4.19 041/103] mm: memcg/slab: call flush_memcg_workqueue() only if memcg workqueue is valid

From: Adrian Huang <ahuang12@...ovo.com>

commit 2fe20210fc5f5e62644678b8f927c49f2c6f42a7 upstream.

When booting with amd_iommu=off, the following WARNING message
appears:

  AMD-Vi: AMD IOMMU disabled on kernel command-line
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at kernel/workqueue.c:2772 flush_workqueue+0x42e/0x450

  ---[ end trace 30894107c3749449 ]---
  x2apic: IRQ remapping doesn't support X2APIC mode
  x2apic disabled

The warning is caused by the calling of 'kmem_cache_destroy()'
in free_iommu_resources(). Here is the call path:

  free_iommu_resources
    kmem_cache_destroy
      flush_memcg_workqueue
        flush_workqueue

The root cause is that the IOMMU subsystem runs before the workqueue
subsystem, which the variable 'wq_online' is still 'false'.  This leads
to the statement 'if (WARN_ON(!wq_online))' in flush_workqueue() is
'true'.

Since the variable 'memcg_kmem_cache_wq' is not allocated during the
time, it is unnecessary to call flush_memcg_workqueue().  This prevents
the WARNING message triggered by flush_workqueue().
