From ced4ac92852e8f17fabcbed7492ba459619640aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Thu, 5 Sep 2013 12:30:04 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] workqueue: fix ordered workqueues in NUMA setups commit 8a2b75384444488fc4f2cbb9f0921b6a0794838f upstream. An ordered workqueue implements execution ordering by using single pool_workqueue with max_active == 1. On a given pool_workqueue, work items are processed in FIFO order and limiting max_active to 1 enforces the queued work items to be processed one by one. Unfortunately, 4c16bd327c ("workqueue: implement NUMA affinity for unbound workqueues") accidentally broke this guarantee by applying NUMA affinity to ordered workqueues too. On NUMA setups, an ordered workqueue would end up with separate pool_workqueues for different nodes. Each pool_workqueue still limits max_active to 1 but multiple work items may be executed concurrently and out of order depending on which node they are queued to. Fix it by using dedicated ordered_wq_attrs[] when creating ordered workqueues. The new attrs match the unbound ones except that no_numa is always set thus forcing all NUMA nodes to share the default pool_workqueue. While at it, add sanity check in workqueue creation path which verifies that an ordered workqueues has only the default pool_workqueue.
