put_unbound_pool() currently passes wq_manager_inactive() as exit condition to rcuwait_wait_event(), which grabs pool->lock to check for pool->flags & POOL_MANAGER_ACTIVE A later patch will require destroy_worker() to be invoked with wq_pool_attach_mutex held, which needs to be acquired before pool->lock. A mutex cannot be acquired within rcuwait_wait_event(), as it could clobber the task state set by rcuwait_wait_event() Instead, restructure the waiting logic to acquire any necessary lock outside of rcuwait_wait_event(). Since further work cannot be inserted into unbound pwqs that have reached ->refcnt==0, this is bound to make forward progress as eventually the worklist will be drained and need_more_worker(pool) will remain false, preventing any worker from stealing the manager position from us.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
