Lukas Wunner 27d4ee0307 workqueue: Allow retrieval of current task's work struct
Introduce a helper to retrieve the current task's work struct if it is
a workqueue worker.

This allows us to fix a long-standing deadlock in several DRM drivers
wherein the ->runtime_suspend callback waits for a specific worker to
finish and that worker in turn calls a function which waits for runtime
suspend to finish.  That function is invoked from multiple call sites
and waiting for runtime suspend to finish is the correct thing to do
except if it's executing in the context of the worker.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
