workqueue: Report work funcs that trigger automatic CPU_INTENSIVE mechanism
Workqueue now automatically marks per-cpu work items that hog CPU for too long as CPU_INTENSIVE, which excludes them from concurrency management and prevents stalling other concurrency-managed work items. If a work function keeps running over the thershold, it likely needs to be switched to use an unbound workqueue. This patch adds a debug mechanism which tracks the work functions which trigger the automatic CPU_INTENSIVE mechanism and report them using pr_warn() with exponential backoff. v3: Documentation update. v2: Drop bouncing to kthread_worker for printing messages. It was to avoid introducing circular locking dependency through printk but not effective as it still had pool lock -> wci_lock -> printk -> pool lock loop. Let's just print directly using printk_deferred(). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Suggested-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
