Currently the workqueue just checks the atomic and locking states after work execution ends. However, sometimes, a work item may not unlock rcu after acquiring rcu_read_lock(). And as a result, it would cause rcu stall, but the rcu stall warning can not dump the work func, because the work has finished. In order to quickly discover those works that do not call rcu_read_unlock() after rcu_read_lock(), add the rcu lock check. Use rcu_preempt_depth() to check the work's rcu status. Normally, this value is 0. If this value is bigger than 0, it means the work are still holding rcu lock. If so, print err info and the work func. tj: Reworded the description for clarity.

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 Restructured Text 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.
