Date: Mon, 06 Jun 2016 21:17:31 -0400 (EDT) From: David Miller <davem@...emloft.net> To: bhaktipriya96@...il.com Cc: derek.chickles@...iumnetworks.com, satananda.burla@...iumnetworks.com, felix.manlunas@...iumnetworks.com, raghu.vatsavayi@...iumnetworks.com, tj@...nel.org, netdev@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: Re: [PATCH] net: ethernet: cavium: liquidio: response_manager: Remove create_workqueue From: Bhaktipriya Shridhar <bhaktipriya96@...il.com> Date: Sat, 4 Jun 2016 20:21:40 +0530 > 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. > > Signed-off-by: Bhaktipriya Shridhar <bhaktipriya96@...il.com> Applied.
