workqueue: Move pwq_dec_nr_in_flight() to the end of work item handling
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The planned shared nr_active handling for unbound workqueues will make
pwq_dec_nr_active() sometimes drop the pool lock temporarily to acquire
other pool locks, which is necessary as retirement of an nr_active count
from one pool may need kick off an inactive work item in another pool.

This patch moves pwq_dec_nr_in_flight() call in try_to_grab_pending() to the
end of work item handling so that work item state changes stay atomic.
process_one_work() which is the other user of pwq_dec_nr_in_flight() already
calls it at the end of work item handling. Comments are added to both call
sites and pwq_dec_nr_in_flight().

This shouldn't cause any behavior changes.
