From c1a220e7acf8ad2c03504891f4a70cd9c32c904b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhang Rui Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2008 21:28:39 -0700 Subject: pm: introduce new interfaces schedule_work_on() and queue_work_on() This interface allows adding a job on a specific cpu. Although a work struct on a cpu will be scheduled to other cpu if the cpu dies, there is a recursion if a work task tries to offline the cpu it's running on. we need to schedule the task to a specific cpu in this case. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10897 [oleg@tv-sign.ru: cleanups] Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui Tested-by: Rus Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Add the new helper, flush_work(work), which waits for the completion of the specific work_struct. More precisely, it "flushes" the result of of the last queue_work() which is visible to the caller. For example, this code queue_work(wq, work); /* WINDOW */ queue_work(wq, work); flush_work(work); doesn't necessary work "as expected". What can happen in the WINDOW above is - wq starts the execution of work->func() - the caller migrates to another CPU now, after the 2nd queue_work() this work is active on the previous CPU, and at the same time it is queued on another. In this case flush_work(work) may return before the first work->func() completes. It is trivial to add another helper int flush_work_sync(struct work_struct *work) { return flush_work(work) || wait_on_work(work); } which works "more correctly", but it has to iterate over all CPUs and thus it much slower than flush_work().
