Pointed out by Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com>. The bug was introduced in 2.6.22 by me. cleanup_workqueue_thread() does flush_cpu_workqueue(cwq) in a loop until ->worklist becomes empty. This is live-lockable, a re-niced caller can get CPU after wake_up() and insert a new barrier before the lower-priority cwq->thread has a chance to clear ->current_work. Change cleanup_workqueue_thread() to do flush_cpu_workqueue(cwq) only once. We can rely on the fact that run_workqueue() won't return until it flushes all works. So it is safe to call kthread_stop() after that, the "should stop" request won't be noticed until run_workqueue() returns.
