workqueue: improve destroy_workqueue() debuggability
Now that the worklist is global, having works pending after wq destruction can easily lead to oops and destroy_workqueue() have several BUG_ON()s to catch these cases. Unfortunately, BUG_ON() doesn't tell much about how the work became pending after the final flush_workqueue(). This patch adds WQ_DYING which is set before the final flush begins. If a work is requested to be queued on a dying workqueue, WARN_ON_ONCE() is triggered and the request is ignored. This clearly indicates which caller is trying to queue a work on a dying workqueue and keeps the system working in most cases. Locking rule comment is updated such that the 'I' rule includes modifying the field from destruction path. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
