Subject: [PATCH] workqueue: mark init_workqueues() as early_initcall()
Date: Sun, 01 Aug 2010 13:07:24 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C55556C.6050206@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100730215751.690706748@sbsiddha-MOBL3.sc.intel.com>

Mark init_workqueues() as early_initcall() and thus it will be initialized
before smp bringup. init_workqueues() registers for the hotcpu notifier
and thus it should cope with the processors that are brought online after
the workqueues are initialized.

x86 smp bringup code uses workqueues and uses a workaround for the
cold boot process (as the workqueues are initialized post smp_init()).
Marking init_workqueues() as early_initcall() will pave the way for
cleaning up this code.

Audited and tested.  It should be fine.  Patch applied and pushed out
to linux-next.  How shall we route the second patch?

Thanks.
