Subject: [PATCH net-next v9 01/10] bng_en: add per-PF workqueue, timer, and slow-path task
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 01:37:31 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260324200740.346029-2-bhargava.marreddy@broadcom.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260324200740.346029-1-bhargava.marreddy@broadcom.com>
Add a dedicated single-thread workqueue and a timer for each PF
to drive deferred slow-path work such as link event handling and
stats collection. The timer is stopped via timer_delete_sync()
when interrupts are disabled and restarted on open. The open and
close paths now start and drain these resources.
