For the two places where new workers are created, we diligently check if we are allowed to create a new worker. If we're currently at the limit of how many workers of a given type we can have, then we don't create any new ones. If you have a mixed workload with various types of bound and unbounded work, then it can happen that a worker finishes one type of work and is then transitioned to the other type. For this case, we don't check if we are actually allowed to do so. This can cause io-wq to temporarily exceed the allowed number of workers for a given type. When retrieving work, check that the types match. If they don't, check if we are allowed to transition to the other type. If not, then don't handle the new work.

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.
