Subject: [PATCH v2] workqueue: Fix warning triggered when nr_running is checked in worker_enter_idle()
Date:   Tue, 23 May 2023 22:09:41 +0800
Message-Id: <20230523140942.18679-1-qiang.zhang1211@gmail.com>
Precedence: bulk

Currently, the nr_running can be modified from timer tick, that means
the timer tick can run in not-irq-protected critical section to modify
nr_runnig, consider the following scenario:

CPU0
kworker/0:2 (events)
   worker_clr_flags(worker, WORKER_PREP | WORKER_REBOUND);
   ->pool->nr_running++;  (1)

   process_one_work()
   ->worker->current_func(work);
     ->schedule()
       ->wq_worker_sleeping()
         ->worker->sleeping = 1;
         ->pool->nr_running--;  (0)
           ....
       ->wq_worker_running()
             ....
             CPU0 by interrupt:
             wq_worker_tick()
             ->worker_set_flags(worker, WORKER_CPU_INTENSIVE);
               ->pool->nr_running--;  (-1)
	       ->worker->flags |= WORKER_CPU_INTENSIVE;
             ....
         ->if (!(worker->flags & WORKER_NOT_RUNNING))
           ->pool->nr_running++;    (will not execute)
         ->worker->sleeping = 0;
           ....
    ->worker_clr_flags(worker, WORKER_CPU_INTENSIVE);
      ->pool->nr_running++;  (0)
    ....
    worker_set_flags(worker, WORKER_PREP);
    ->pool->nr_running--;   (-1)
    ....
    worker_enter_idle()
    ->WARN_ON_ONCE(pool->nr_workers == pool->nr_idle && pool->nr_running);

if the nr_workers is equal to nr_idle, due to the nr_running is not zero,
will trigger WARN_ON_ONCE().

This commit therefore add the check of worker->sleeping in
wq_worker_tick(), if the worker->sleeping is not zero, directly return.
