Subject: RDMA/addr: create addr_wq with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag
Patch-mainline: Never, no fix yet availabe upstream revert offending change
References: bsc#1183346
While running NVMe/oF wire unplug tests, we hit this warning in
kernel/workqueue.c:check_flush_dependency():
WARN_ONCE(worker && ((worker->current_pwq->wq->flags &
(WQ_MEM_RECLAIM | __WQ_LEGACY)) == WQ_MEM_RECLAIM),
"workqueue: WQ_MEM_RECLAIM %s:%pf is flushing !WQ_MEM_RECLAIM %s:%pf",
worker->current_pwq->wq->name, worker->current_func,
target_wq->name, target_func);
Which I think means we're flushing a workq that doesn't have
WQ_MEM_RECLAIM set, from workqueue context that does have it set.
Looking at rdma_addr_cancel() which is doing the flushing, it flushes
the addr_wq which doesn't have MEM_RECLAIM set. Yet rdma_addr_cancel()
is being called by the nvme host connection timeout/reconnect workqueue
thread that does have WQ_MEM_RECLAIM set.
So set WQ_MEM_RECLAIM on the addr_req workqueue.
This is to silence the warning and not fixing the problem at
all. Upstream is aware of this problem but there is no fix yet. To
avoid a lot of support requests undo the offending commit.
