commit 51232df5e4 upstream.
When the managed cache is enabled, the last reference count
of a workgroup must be used for its workstation.
Otherwise, it could lead to incorrect (un)freezes in
the reclaim path, and it would be harmful.
A typical race as follows:
Thread 1 (In the reclaim path) Thread 2
workgroup_freeze(grp, 1) refcnt = 1
...
workgroup_unfreeze(grp, 1) refcnt = 1
workgroup_get(grp) refcnt = 2 (x)
workgroup_put(grp) refcnt = 1 (x)
...unexpected behaviors
* grp is detached but still used, which violates cache-managed
freeze constraint.

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.
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.
