From 703ccb63ae9f7444d6ff876d024e17f628103c69 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Brost Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2026 18:07:39 -0700 Subject: workqueue: Add pool_workqueue to pending_pwqs list when unplugging multiple inactive works MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit In unplug_oldest_pwq(), the first inactive work item on the pool_workqueue is activated correctly. However, if multiple inactive works exist on the same pool_workqueue, subsequent works fail to activate because wq_node_nr_active.pending_pwqs is empty — the list insertion is skipped when the pool_workqueue is plugged. Fix this by checking for additional inactive works in unplug_oldest_pwq() and updating wq_node_nr_active.pending_pwqs accordingly.
