Subject: KVM: Remove deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3706feacd007c89f49bdb20c5c1dd17c8badfc43;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

KVM: Remove deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue

The workqueue "irqfd_cleanup_wq" queues a single work item
&irqfd->shutdown and hence doesn't require ordering. It is a host-wide
workqueue for issuing deferred shutdown requests aggregated from all
vm* instances. It is not being used on a memory reclaim path.
Hence, it has been converted to use system_wq.
The work item has been flushed in kvm_irqfd_release().

The workqueue "wqueue" queues a single work item &timer->expired
and hence doesn't require ordering. Also, it is not being used on
a memory reclaim path. Hence, it has been converted to use system_wq.

System workqueues have been able to handle high level of concurrency
for a long time now and hence it's not required to have a singlethreaded
workqueue just to gain concurrency. Unlike a dedicated per-cpu workqueue
created with create_singlethread_workqueue(), system_wq allows multiple
work items to overlap executions even on the same CPU; however, a
per-cpu workqueue doesn't have any CPU locality or global ordering
guarantee unless the target CPU is explicitly specified and thus the
increase of local concurrency shouldn't make any difference.
