workqueue/watchdog: Make unbound workqueues aware of touch_softlockup_watchdog()
84;0;0c84;0;0c
There are two workqueue-specific watchdog timestamps:
+ @wq_watchdog_touched_cpu (per-CPU) updated by
touch_softlockup_watchdog()
+ @wq_watchdog_touched (global) updated by
touch_all_softlockup_watchdogs()
watchdog_timer_fn() checks only the global @wq_watchdog_touched for
unbound workqueues. As a result, unbound workqueues are not aware
of touch_softlockup_watchdog(). The watchdog might report a stall
even when the unbound workqueues are blocked by a known slow code.
Solution:
touch_softlockup_watchdog() must touch also the global @wq_watchdog_touched
timestamp.
The global timestamp can no longer be used for bound workqueues because
it is now updated from all CPUs. Instead, bound workqueues have to check
only @wq_watchdog_touched_cpu and these timestamps have to be updated for
all CPUs in touch_all_softlockup_watchdogs().
Beware:
The change might cause the opposite problem. An unbound ...
