[PATCH 2/6] workqueue: Replace pool->attach_mutex with global wq_pool_attach_mutex

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Thu May 17 2018 - 00:03:42 EST


To improve workqueue visibility, we want to be able to access
workqueue information from worker tasks. The per-pool attach mutex
makes that difficult because there's no way of stabilizing task ->
worker pool association without knowing the pool first.

Worker attach/detach is a slow path and there's no need for different
pools to be able to perform them concurrently. This patch replaces
the per-pool attach_mutex with global wq_pool_attach_mutex to prepare
for visibility improvement changes.
