Message-Id: <20160726.151921.304567441512097113.davem@davemloft.net> Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2016 15:19:21 -0700 (PDT) From: David Miller <davem@...emloft.net> To: bhaktipriya96@...il.com Cc: matanb@...lanox.com, leonro@...lanox.com, netdev@...r.kernel.org, linux-rdma@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, tj@...nel.org Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] net/mlx5_core/health: Remove deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue From: Bhaktipriya Shridhar <bhaktipriya96@...il.com> Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2016 22:38:24 +0530 > The workqueue health->wq was used as per device private health thread. > This was done to perform delayed work. > > The workqueue has a single workitem(&health->work) and > hence doesn't require ordering. It is involved in handling the health of > the device and is not being used on a memory reclaim path. > Hence, the singlethreaded workqueue has been replaced with the use of > system_wq. > > Work item has been flushed in mlx5_health_cleanup() to ensure that > there are no pending tasks while disconnecting the driver. > > Signed-off-by: Bhaktipriya Shridhar <bhaktipriya96@...il.com> Applied.
