Subject: [PATCH] net: ethernet: cavium: liquidio: response_manager: Remove create_workqueue
Date: Sat, 4 Jun 2016 20:21:40 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160604145139.GA31437@Karyakshetra> (raw)

alloc_workqueue replaces deprecated create_workqueue().

A dedicated workqueue has been used since the workitem viz
(&cwq->wk.work which maps to oct_poll_req_completion) is involved
in normal device operation. WQ_MEM_RECLAIM has been set to guarantee
forward progress under memory pressure, which is a requirement here.
Since there are only a fixed number of work items, explicit concurrency
limit is unnecessary.

flush_workqueue is unnecessary since destroy_workqueue() itself calls
drain_workqueue() which flushes repeatedly till the workqueue
becomes empty. Hence the call to flush_workqueue() has been dropped.
