The patch titled Subject: kthread: work could not be queued when worker being destroyed has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was kthread-work-could-not-be-queued-when-worker-being-destroyed.patch This patch was dropped because it had testing failures ------------------------------------------------------ From: Zhang Qiang <qiang.zhang@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: kthread: work could not be queued when worker being destroyed The "queuing_blocked" func should print warning message and returns true when the worker being destroyed. Before the work is put into the queue of the worker thread, the state of the worker thread needs to be detected,because the worker thread may be in the destruction state at this time.
