Subject: [PATCH] dm-bufio: Remove deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue
Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2016 22:19:11 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160830164911.GA26756@Karyakshetra> (raw)
The workqueue "dm_bufio_wq" queues a single work item &dm_bufio_work and
hence it doesn't require execution ordering. Hence, alloc_workqueue has
been used to replace the deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue instance.
The WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag has been set since md / dm are block multi disk
drivers and require forward progress under memory pressure.
Since there are fixed number of work items, explicit concurrency
limit is unnecessary here.
