Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] module: replace use of system_wq with system_dfl_wq
Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2025 10:55:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250918085525.122429-2-marco.crivellari@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250918085525.122429-1-marco.crivellari@suse.com>
Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.
This specific patch replace system_wq with system_dfl_wq, the new unbound
workqueue, because the users does not benefit from a per-cpu wq.
