1726a1713590 ("workqueue: Put PWQ allocation and WQ enlistment in the same
lock C.S.") led to the following possible deadlock:
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
6.10.0-rc5-00004-g1d4c6111406c #1 Not tainted
--------------------------------------------
swapper/0/1 is trying to acquire lock:

This is caused by pcrypt allocating a workqueue while holding
cpus_read_lock(), so workqueue code can't do it again as that can lead to
deadlocks if down_write starts after the first down_read.
The pwq creations and installations have been reworked based on
wq_online_cpumask rather than cpu_online_mask making cpus_read_lock() is
unneeded during wqattrs changes. Fix the deadlock by removing
cpus_read_lock() from apply_wqattrs_lock().

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 reStructuredText 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.
