[PATCH] workqueue: Remove incorrect "WARN_ON_ONCE(!list_empty(&worker->entry));" from dying worker
From: Lai Jiangshan
Date: Wed Jul 24 2024 - 21:02:04 EST
From: Lai Jiangshan <jiangshan.ljs@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
The commit 68f83057b913 ("workqueue: Reap workers via kthread_stop()
and remove detach_completion") changes the procedure of destroying
workers; the dying workers are kept in the cull_list in wake_dying_workers()
with the pool lock held and removed from the cull_list by the newly
added reap_dying_workers() without the pool lock.
This can cause a warning if the dying worker is wokenup earlier than
reaped as reported by Marc:

Since the procedure of destroying workers is changed, the WARN_ON_ONCE()
becomes incorrect and should be removed.
