linux-toradex.git/samples/workqueue/stall_detector, branch v7.0-rc6 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules workqueue: Add stall detector sample module 2026-03-05T17:30:49+00:00 Breno Leitao leitao@debian.org 2026-03-05T16:15:41+00:00 9e83d5104a70d8545bad61a77e166190d9447e1d Add a sample module under samples/workqueue/stall_detector/ that reproduces a workqueue stall caused by PF_WQ_WORKER misuse. The module queues two work items on the same per-CPU pool, then clears PF_WQ_WORKER and sleeps in wait_event_idle(), hiding from the concurrency manager and stalling the second work item indefinitely. This is useful for testing the workqueue watchdog stall diagnostics. Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao <leitao@debian.org> Acked-by: Song Liu <song@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
