After creating a new worker, create_worker() is calling kick_pool() to wake up the new worker task. However, as kick_pool() doesn't do anything if there is no work pending, it also calls wake_up_process() explicitly. There's no reason to call kick_pool() at all. wake_up_process() is enough by itself. Drop the unnecessary kick_pool() call. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
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.
