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().
