There can be a lot of workqueue workers and they all show up with the
cryptic kworker/* names making it difficult to understand which is
doing what and how they came to be.
# ps -ef | grep kworker

This patch makes workqueue workers report the latest workqueue it was
executing for through /proc/PID/{comm,stat,status}. The extra
information is appended to the kthread name with intervening '+' if
currently executing, otherwise '-'.
# cat /proc/25/comm
kworker/2:0-events_power_efficient
# cat /proc/25/stat
25 (kworker/2:0-events_power_efficient) I 2 0 0 0 -1 69238880 0 0...
# grep Name /proc/25/status
Name: kworker/2:0-events_power_efficient
Unfortunately, ps(1) truncates comm to 15 characters,
# ps 25
PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
25 ? I 0:00 [kworker/2:0-eve]
making it a lot less useful; however, this should be an easy fix from
ps(1) side.

Work functions can use set_worker_desc() to improve the visibility of
what the worker task is doing. Currently, the desc field is unset at
the beginning of each execution and there is a separate field to track
the field is set during the current execution.
Instead of leaving empty till desc is set, worker->desc can be used to
remember the last workqueue the worker worked on by default and users
that use set_worker_desc() can override it to something more
informative as necessary.
This simplifies desc handling and helps tracking the last workqueue
that the worker exected on to improve visibility.

For historical reasons, the worker attach/detach functions don't
currently manage worker->pool and the callers are manually and
inconsistently updating it.
This patch moves worker->pool updates into the worker attach/detach
functions. This makes worker->pool consistent and clearly defines how
worker->pool updates are synchronized.
This will help later workqueue visibility improvements by allowing
safe access to workqueue information from worker->task.

To improve workqueue visibility, we want to be able to access
workqueue information from worker tasks. The per-pool attach mutex
makes that difficult because there's no way of stabilizing task ->
worker pool association without knowing the pool first.
Worker attach/detach is a slow path and there's no need for different
pools to be able to perform them concurrently. This patch replaces
the per-pool attach_mutex with global wq_pool_attach_mutex to prepare
for visibility improvement changes.

As a prerequisite, complement commit 3d1cb2059d ("workqueue: include
workqueue info when printing debug dump of a worker task") to be usable with
kernel modules by exporting the symbol set_worker_desc(). Current built-in
user was introduced with commit ef3b101925 ("writeback: set worker desc to
identify writeback workers in task dumps").
Can help distinguishing work items which do not have adapter scope.
Description is printed out with task dump for debugging on WARN, BUG, panic,
or magic-sysrq [show-task-states(t)].
Example:
$ echo 0 >| /sys/bus/ccw/drivers/zfcp/0.0.1880/0x50050763031bd327/failed &
$ echo 't' >| /proc/sysrq-trigger

There are cases where RCU callback needs to be bounced to a sleepable
context. This is currently done by the RCU callback queueing a work
item, which can be cumbersome to write and confusing to read.
This patch introduces rcu_work, a workqueue work variant which gets
executed after a RCU grace period, and converts the open coded
bouncing in fs/aio and kernel/cgroup.
v3: Dropped queue_rcu_work_on(). Documented rcu grace period behavior
after queue_rcu_work().
v2: Use rcu_barrier() instead of synchronize_rcu() to wait for
completion of previously queued rcu callback as per Paul.

Pull staging/IIO updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big Staging and IIO driver patches for 4.16-rc1.
There is the normal amount of new IIO drivers added, like all
releases.
The networking IPX and the ncpfs filesystem are moved into the staging
tree, as they are on their way out of the kernel due to lack of use
anymore.
The visorbus subsystem finall has started moving out of the staging
tree to the "real" part of the kernel, and the most and fsl-mc
codebases are almost ready to move out, that will probably happen for
4.17-rc1 if all goes well.
Other than that, there is a bunch of license header cleanups in the
tree, along with the normal amount of coding style churn that we all
know and love for this codebase. I also got frustrated at the
Meltdown/Spectre mess and took it out on the dgnc tty driver, deleting
huge chunks of it that were never even being used.
Full details of everything is in the shortlog.
All of these patches have been in linux-next for a while with no

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
"Workqueue has an early init trick where workqueues can be created and
work items queued on them before the workqueue subsystem is online.
This helps simplifying early init and operation of low level
subsystems which use workqueues for managerial things which aren't
depended upon early during boot.
Out of laziness, the early init didn't cover workqueues with
WQ_MEM_RECLAIM, which is inconsistent and confusing because adding the
flag simply makes the system fail to boot. Cover WQ_MEM_RECLAIM too.
This was originally brought up for RCU but RCU didn't actually need
this. I still think it's a good idea to cover it"

Instead of the cfs workitem library, use workqueues.
As lnet wants to provide a cpu mask of allowed cpus, it
needs to be a WQ_UNBOUND work queue so that tasks can
run on cpus other than where they were submitted.
This patch also exported apply_workqueue_attrs() which is
a documented part of the workqueue API, that isn't currently
exported. lustre needs it to allow workqueue thread to be limited
to a subset of CPUs.
