From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Bhaktipriya Shridhar Subject: [PATCH v3] gpu: drm: amd: amdkfd: Remove create_workqueue() Date: Sun, 29 May 2016 21:14:11 +0530 Message-ID: <20160529154411.GA10076@Karyakshetra> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Return-path: Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org To: Tejun Heo , Oded Gabbay , Alex Deucher , Christian =?iso-8859-1?Q?K=F6nig?= , David Airlie Cc: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org List-Id: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org alloc_workqueue replaces deprecated create_workqueue(). create_workqueue has been replaced with alloc_workqueue with max_active as 0 since there is no need for throttling the number of active work items. WQ_MEM_RECLAIM has not been set to because kfd_process_wq will not be used in memory reclaim path. kfd_process_wq is used for delay destruction. A work item embedded in kfd_process gets queued to kfd_process_wq and when it executes it destroys and frees the containing kfd_process and thus itself. This requires a dedicated workqueue because a work item once queued, may get freed at any point of time and any external entity cannot flush the work item. So, in order to wait for such a work item, it needs to be put on a dedicated workqueue. kfd_module_exit() calls kfd_process_destroy_wq which ensures that all pending work items are finished before the module is removed. flush_workqueue is unnecessary since destroy_workqueue() itself calls drain_workqueue() which flushes repeatedly till the workqueue becomes empty. Hence flush_workqueue has been removed.
