Date: Mon, 16 Aug 2010 15:39:15 +0800 Message-Id: <1281944355-4379-1-git-send-email-tao.ma@oracle.com> X-Mailer: git-send-email 1.7.0.4 Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 2448 Lines: 64 Now in CMWQ, workqueue threads are named as 'kworker/*'. So it is a little boring to see in the 'top'(below) and actually it isn't meaningful for the users. 12606 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 2 0.0 0:03.22 kworker/u:0 12607 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 1 0.0 0:03.69 kworker/u:4 So this patch just try to set the proper workqueue name if it does exist. Yes, workqueue now is a thread pool and the data may be not accurate but I think it is better(below) than the 'kworker*' stuff. And if there is something block the workqueue, we can find the caller easily. 12606 root 20 0 0 0 0 D 2 0.0 0:02.90 dlm_wq 12607 root 20 0 0 0 0 D 0 0.0 0:03.21 ocfs2_wq What's more, in ocfs2, we sometimes want to print some debug info in the system log and we use 'current->comm' to print the thread and this change also does help. The only thing I am not clear is that do we need [gs]et_task_comm? I guess not and this patch just try to use strlcpy without task_lock.
