From b62c075194f409ed887670af897ad22d44ed8ac8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lai Jiangshan Date: Tue, 3 Jun 2014 15:32:52 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] workqueue: clear leftover flags when detached When a worker is detached, the worker->flags may still have WORKER_UNBOUND or WORKER_REBOUND, it is OK for all cases: 1) if it is a normal worker, the worker will be dead, it is OK. 2) if it is a rescuer, it may re-attach to a pool with this leftover flag[s], it is still correct except it may cause unneeded wakeup. It is correct but not good, so we just remove the leftover flags.
