Subject: [PATCH 36/40] fscache: convert operation to use workqueue instead of slow-work
Date: Mon, 18 Jan 2010 09:57:48 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1263776272-382-37-git-send-email-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1263776272-382-1-git-send-email-tj@kernel.org>

Make fscache operation to use only workqueue instead of combination of
workqueue and slow-work.  FSCACHE_OP_SLOW is dropped and
FSCACHE_OP_FAST is renamed to FSCACHE_OP_ASYNC and uses newly added
fscache_op_wq workqueue to execute op->processor().
fscache_operation_init_slow() is dropped and fscache_operation_init()
now takes @processor argument directly.

* fscache_retrieval_work() is no longer necessary as OP_ASYNC now does
  the equivalent thing.

* Max concurrency for objects is set to 4 which is the default for
  slow works.  API to adjust cwq max concurrency limit can be added
  easily.

* Single CPU workqueue was used to ease conversion.  If necessary,
  multi CPU one can be used by adding per-operation mutex.
