[PATCH v2 3/5] workqueue: Add interface for user-defined workqueue lockdep map

From: Matthew Brost
Date: Tue Jul 30 2024 - 20:31:03 EST


Add an interface for a user-defined workqueue lockdep map, which is
helpful when multiple workqueues are created for the same purpose. This
also helps avoid leaking lockdep maps on each workqueue creation.

Implement a new internal workqueue flag, __WQ_USER_OWNED_LOCKDEP, to
indicate that the user will set up the workqueue lockdep map using the
new function alloc_workqueue_lockdep_map. Also add helper macro
alloc_ordered_workqueue_lockdep_map.

v2:
- Add alloc_workqueue_lockdep_map (Tejun)
