Frederic Weisbecker 45c753f5f2 workqueue: Fix unbind_workers() VS wq_worker_sleeping() race
At CPU-hotplug time, unbind_workers() may preempt a worker while it is
going to sleep. In that case the following scenario can happen:

    unbind_workers()                     wq_worker_sleeping()
    --------------                      -------------------
                                      if (worker->flags & WORKER_NOT_RUNNING)
                                          return;
                                      //PREEMPTED by unbind_workers
    worker->flags |= WORKER_UNBOUND;
    [...]
    atomic_set(&pool->nr_running, 0);
    //resume to worker
                                       atomic_dec_and_test(&pool->nr_running);

After unbind_worker() resets pool->nr_running, the value is expected to
remain 0 until the pool ever gets rebound in case cpu_up() is called on
the target CPU in the future. But here the race leaves pool->nr_running
with a value of -1, triggering the following warning when the worker goes
idle:

          </TASK>

Also due to this incorrect "nr_running == -1", all sorts of hazards can
happen, starting with queued works being ignored because no workers are
awaken at insert_work() time.

Fix this with checking again the worker flags while pool->lock is locked.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
