Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: shorten names for cpufreq workqueues
The names for workqueues are restricted to 15 characters (plus
terminating zero). Due to TASK_COMM_LEN==16, see
include/linux/sched.h.
This implies that for "kconservative"-workqueues for CPU numbers
greater than 10 the names get truncated, e.g.
# ps x | grep kconservative
1575 ? S< 0:00 [kconservative/1]
1576 ? S< 0:00 [kconservative/2]
1577 ? S< 0:00 [kconservative/3]
1578 ? S< 0:00 [kconservative/4]
1579 ? S< 0:00 [kconservative/5]
1580 ? S< 0:00 [kconservative/6]
1581 ? S< 0:00 [kconservative/7]
1582 ? S< 0:00 [kconservative/8]
1583 ? S< 0:00 [kconservative/9]
1584 ? S< 0:00 [kconservative/1]
1585 ? S< 0:00 [kconservative/1]
1586 ? S< 0:00 [kconservative/1]
1587 ? S< 0:00 [kconservative/1]
1588 ? S< 0:00 [kconservative/1]
1589 ? S< 0:00 [kconservative/1]
1590 ? S< 0:00 [kconservative/1]
1591 ? S< 0:00 [kconservative/1]
1592 ? S< 0:00 [kconservative/1]
1593 ? S< 0:00 [kconservative/1]
1594 ? S< 0:00 [kconservative/2]
1595 ? S< 0:00 [kconservative/2]
1597 ? S< 0:00 [kconservative/2]
Same is true for top output and of course for information in
/proc/<pid> for those kernel threads. That is no big issue but
at least "unesthetic".
Instead of increasing TASK_COMM_LEN (and thus increasing size of
task_struct) I suggest to shorten the names of those workqueues by
ommitting the leading "k" which doesn't add much value to the
workqueue name anyway. This allows proper naming of workqueues up to
100 CPUs and should suffice for a while.
I also remove the leading "k" from the identifier of conservative
workqueue. And for uniformity I similarly change identifier and name
for ondemand workqueues. The new workqueue names are
# ps x | grep "ond\|cons"
1568 ? S< 0:00 [ondemand/0]
1569 ? S< 0:00 [ondemand/1]
...
1590 ? S< 0:00 [ondemand/22]
1591 ? S< 0:00 [ondemand/23]
1592 ? S< 0:00 [conservative/0]
1593 ? S< 0:00 [conservative/1]
...
1614 ? S< 0:00 [conservative/22]
1615 ? S< 0:00 [conservative/23]
