Subject: [PATCH 08/10] workqueue: Introduce struct wq_node_nr_active
Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2024 07:06:01 -1000

Currently, for both percpu and unbound workqueues, max_active applies
per-cpu, which is a recent change for unbound workqueues. The change for
unbound workqueues was a significant departure from the previous behavior of
per-node application. It made some use cases create undesirable number of
concurrent work items and left no good way of fixing them. To address the
problem, workqueue is implementing a NUMA node segmented global nr_active
mechanism, which will be explained further in the next patch.

As a preparation, this patch introduces struct wq_node_nr_active. It's a
data structured allocated for each workqueue and NUMA node pair and
currently only tracks the workqueue's number of active work items on the
node. This is split out from the next patch to make it easier to understand
and review.

Note that there is an extra wq_node_nr_active allocated for the invalid node
nr_node_ids which is used to track nr_active for pools which don't have NUMA
node associated such as the default fallback system-wide pool.

This doesn't cause any behavior changes visible to userland yet. The next
patch will expand to implement the control mechanism on top.

v3: - Use flexible array for wq->node_nr_active as suggested by Lai.

v2: - wq->max_active now uses WRITE/READ_ONCE() as suggested by Lai.

    - Lai pointed out that pwq_tryinc_nr_active() incorrectly dropped
      pwq->max_active check. Restored. As the next patch replaces the
      max_active enforcement mechanism, this doesn't change the end result.
