Subject: workqueue: fix max_active handling in init_and_link_pwq()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=983ca25e738ee0c9c5435a503a6bb0034d4552b0;p=linux-beck.git

workqueue: fix max_active handling in init_and_link_pwq()

Since 9e8cd2f589 ("workqueue: implement apply_workqueue_attrs()"),
init_and_link_pwq() may be called to initialize a new pool_workqueue
for a workqueue which is already online, but the function was setting
pwq->max_active to wq->saved_max_active without proper
synchronization.

Fix it by calling pwq_adjust_max_active() under proper locking instead
of manually setting max_active.
