Ah, that looks promising and thanks a lot for looking into this. It's great
to have someone actually poring over the code and behavior. Understanding
the wb and cgroup wb behaviors have always been challenging because the only
thing we have is the tracepoints and it's really tedious and difficult to
build an overall understanding from the trace outputs. Can I persuade you
into writing a drgn monitoring script similar to e.g.
tools/workqueues/wq_monitor.py? I think there's a pretty good chance the
visibility can be improved substantially.

Thanks.
