This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.\n\nOrdinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further\nscheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the\nwork function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself\nthat the work_struct won\u0027t go away, the work function may not access anything\nelse in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a\nproblem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).\n\nHowever, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work\nfunction, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container\nwith no problems. But then the work function must itself release the\nwork_struct by calling work_release().\n\nIn most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special\ninitiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).\n\n\nSigned-Off-By: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "52e92e5788139921352213fa6faf6e30ff1f2f5a", "tree": "0d3975df8fc42058b30745bc3fe47b6af2993462", "parents": [ "098c5eea03de4707019a205140296893252b4130" ], "author": { "name": "Adrian Bunk", "email": "bunk@stusta.de", "time": "Fri Jul 14 00:24:05 2006 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Fri Jul 14 21:53:52 2006 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] remove kernel/kthread.c:kthread_stop_sem()\n\nRemove the now-unneeded kthread_stop_sem().\n\nSigned-off-by: Adrian Bunk \u003cbunk@stusta.de\u003e\nAcked-by: Alan Stern \u003cstern@rowland.harvard.edu\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "9e37bd301ee130598fa1406c1281caa159473bf8", "tree": "c52de7a4eea72353e95c26266ad692a0cc0a8546", "parents": [ "b0ef371e3f9fa3b2571058be366a6780827ec0bf" ], "author": { "name": "Randy Dunlap", "email": "rdunlap@xenotime.net", "time": "Sun Jun 25 05:49:19 2006 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Sun Jun 25 10:01:24 2006 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] kthread: move kernel-doc and put it into DocBook\n\nMove kthread API kernel-doc from kthread.h to kthread.c \u0026 fix it.\nAdd kthread API to kernel-api DocBook.\n\nSigned-off-by: Randy Dunlap \u003crdunlap@xenotime.net\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "05eeae208d08a05a6980cf2ff61f02843c0955fd", "tree": "be6c6c4e16cfac07edf437a1f74ef027ada8ccc7", "parents": [ "c1f5a1944657ba6abe375e3bb2a3238a46849f70" ], "author": { "name": "Andrew Morton", "email": "akpm@osdl.org", "time": "Sat Mar 25 03:07:48 2006 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Sat Mar 25 08:22:57 2006 -0800" }, "message": "[PATCH] find_task_by_pid() needs tasklist_lock\n\nA couple of places are forgetting to take it.\n\nThe kswapd case is probably unimportant. keventd_create_kthread() was racy.\n\nThe whole thing is a bit flakey: you start a kernel thread, get its pid from\nkernel_thread() then look up its task_struct.\n\na) It assumes that pid recycling takes a \"long\" time.\n\nb) We get a task_struct but no reference was taken on it.
