Subject: workqueue: Only assign rescuer work when really needed
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7b05c90b3302cf3d830dfa6f8961376bcaf43b94;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

workqueue: Only assign rescuer work when really needed

If the pwq does not need rescue (normal workers have been created or
become available), the rescuer can immediately move on to other stalled
pwqs.
