[ Upstream commit1c270b79ce] __queue_work(), pwq_dec_nr_in_flight() and wq_adjust_max_active() were open-coding nr_active handling, which is fine given that the operations are trivial. However, the planned unbound nr_active update will make them more complicated, so let's move them into helpers. - pwq_tryinc_nr_active() is added. It increments nr_active if under max_active limit and return a boolean indicating whether inc was successful. Note that the function is structured to accommodate future changes. __queue_work() is updated to use the new helper. - pwq_activate_first_inactive() is updated to use pwq_tryinc_nr_active() and thus no longer assumes that nr_active is under max_active and returns a boolean to indicate whether a work item has been activated. - wq_adjust_max_active() no longer tests directly whether a work item can be activated. Instead, it's updated to use the return value of pwq_activate_first_inactive() to tell whether a work item has been activated. - nr_active decrement and activating the first inactive work item is factored into pwq_dec_nr_active(). v3: - WARN_ON_ONCE(!WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE) added to __pwq_activate_work() as now we're calling the function unconditionally from pwq_activate_first_inactive(). v2: - wq->max_active now uses WRITE/READ_ONCE() as suggested by Lai.

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.
