Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] rust: workqueue: add creation of workqueues
Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2026 14:53:21 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260227-create-workqueue-v3-2-87de133f7849@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260227-create-workqueue-v3-0-87de133f7849@google.com>
Creating workqueues is needed by various GPU drivers. Not only does it
give you better control over execution, it also allows devices to ensure
that all tasks have exited before the device is unbound (or similar) by
running the workqueue destructor.
