+Subject: workqueue: implicit ordered attribute should be overridable
+
+From: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
+
+commit 0a94efb5acbb6980d7c9ab604372d93cd507e4d8 upstream.
+
+5c0338c68706 ("workqueue: restore WQ_UNBOUND/max_active==1 to be
+ordered") automatically enabled ordered attribute for unbound
+workqueues w/ max_active == 1. Because ordered workqueues reject
+max_active and some attribute changes, this implicit ordered mode
+broke cases where the user creates an unbound workqueue w/ max_active
+== 1 and later explicitly changes the related attributes.
+
+This patch distinguishes explicit and implicit ordered setting and
+overrides from attribute changes if implict.
