wq->cpu_pwq is RCU protected but wq->dfl_pwq isn't. This is okay because currently wq->dfl_pwq is used only accessed to install it into wq->cpu_pwq which doesn't require RCU access. However, we want to be able to access wq->dfl_pwq under RCU in the future to access its __pod_cpumask and the code can be made easier to read by making the two pwq fields behave in the same way. - Make wq->dfl_pwq RCU protected. - Add unbound_pwq_slot() and unbound_pwq() which can access both ->dfl_pwq and ->cpu_pwq. The former returns the double pointer that can be used access and update the pwqs. The latter performs locking check and dereferences the double pointer. - pwq accesses and updates are converted to use unbound_pwq[_slot]().

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.
