Subject: [for-next][PATCH 02/20] tracing: Rename `eval_map_wq` and allow other parts of tracing use it
Date: Sun, 08 Feb 2026 21:20:28 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260209022052.364650128@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20260209022026.627895421@kernel.org
From: Yaxiong Tian <tianyaxiong@kylinos.cn>
The eval_map_work_func() function, though queued in eval_map_wq,
holds the trace_event_sem read-write lock for a long time during
kernel boot. This causes blocking issues for other functions.
Rename eval_map_wq to trace_init_wq and make it global, thereby
allowing other parts of tracing to schedule work on this queue
asynchronously and avoiding blockage of the main boot thread.
