    mlxsw: core: Remove deprecated create_workqueue · 3d5479e9
    Bhaktipriya Shridhar authored
    alloc_workqueue replaces deprecated create_workqueue().
    
    A dedicated workqueue has been used since the workqueue
    mlxsw_wq is used for FDB notif. processing with workitems that are
    involved in normal device operation && because it's a network device
    which can be depended upon during memory reclaim.
    
    Workitems &trans->timeout_dw and &mlxsw_sp->fdb_notify.dw,
    map to mlxsw_sp_fdb_notify_work (processes FDB notifications from the
    underlying device and resolves the netdev to which the entry points to
    and notifies the bridge using the switchdev notifier) and
    mlxsw_emad_trans_timeout_work (provides async EMAD register access)
    respectively. They require forward progress under memory pressure and
    hence, WQ_MEM_RECLAIM has been set.
    
    Since there are only a fixed number of work items, explicit concurrency
    limit is unnecessary here.
