From 29b1cb416a2920fbc70041e4382920ae2d86f426 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lai Jiangshan Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2014 13:04:27 +0800 Subject: workqueue: remove the stale comment in pwq_unbound_release_workfn() In 75ccf5950f82 ("workqueue: prepare flush_workqueue() for dynamic creation and destrucion of unbound pool_workqueues"), a comment about the synchronization for the pwq in pwq_unbound_release_workfn() was added. The comment claimed the flush_mutex wasn't strictly necessary, it was correct in that time, due to the pwq was protected by workqueue_lock. But it is incorrect now since the wq->flush_mutex was renamed to wq->mutex and workqueue_lock was removed, the wq->mutex is strictly needed. But the comment was miss-updated when the synchronization was changed. This patch removes the incorrect comments and doesn't add any new comment to explain why wq->mutex is needed here, which is definitely obvious and wq->pwqs_node has "WQ" notation in its definition which is better comment. The old commit mentioned above also introduced a comment in link_pwq() about the synchronization. This comment is also removed in this patch since the whole link_pwq() is proteced by wq->mutex.
