    s390/cio/chp : Remove deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue · 7b1058bc
    Bhaktipriya Shridhar authored
    The workqueue "chp_wq" is involved in performing pending
    configure tasks for channel paths.
    
    It has a single work item(&cfg_work) and hence doesn't require
    ordering. Also, it is not being used on a memory reclaim path.
    Hence, the singlethreaded workqueue has been replaced with the use of
    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.
