Pavel Begunkov b839175c06 io_uring/io-wq: limit retrying worker initialisation
commit 0453aad676 upstream.

If io-wq worker creation fails, we retry it by queueing up a task_work.
tasK_work is needed because it should be done from the user process
context. The problem is that retries are not limited, and if queueing a
task_work is the reason for the failure, we might get into an infinite
loop.

It doesn't seem to happen now but it would with the following patch
executing task_work in the freezer's loop. For now, arbitrarily limit the
number of attempts to create a worker.

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
