[PATCH 1/2]workqueue:introduce INIT_WORK_KEY()

From: Shaohua Li
Date: Thu Dec 10 2009 - 22:04:41 EST


Introduce INIT_WORK_KEY(). lockdep key is static in a function. If a function
uses INIT_WORK() to initialize works for different workqueue, the works will
share a lockdep key incorrectly and cause lockdep fase alarm sometimes.
Next patch will use the new API to solve one ACPI issue.
