commit 45c753f5f24d2d4717acb38ce35e604ff9abcb50 upstream.
At CPU-hotplug time, unbind_workers() may preempt a worker while it is going to sleep. In that case the following scenario can happen:
unbind_workers() wq_worker_sleeping() -------------- ------------------- if (worker->flags & WORKER_NOT_RUNNING) return; //PREEMPTED by unbind_workers worker->flags |= WORKER_UNBOUND; [...] atomic_set(&pool->nr_running, 0); //resume to worker atomic_dec_and_test(&pool->nr_running);
After unbind_worker() resets pool->nr_running, the value is expected to remain 0 until the pool ever gets rebound in case cpu_up() is called on the target CPU in the future. But here the race leaves pool->nr_running with a value of -1, triggering the following warning when the worker goes idle:

Also due to this incorrect "nr_running == -1", all sorts of hazards can happen, starting with queued works being ignored because no workers are awaken at insert_work() time.
Fix this with checking again the worker flags while pool->lock is locked.
