      workqueue: merge feature parameters into flags · 97e37d7b
      Tejun Heo authored
      Currently, __create_workqueue_key() takes @singlethread and
      @freezeable paramters and store them separately in workqueue_struct.
      Merge them into a single flags parameter and field and use
      WQ_FREEZEABLE and WQ_SINGLE_THREAD.

      workqueue: misc/cosmetic updates · 4690c4ab
      Tejun Heo authored
      Make the following updates in preparation of concurrency managed
      workqueue.  None of these changes causes any visible behavior
      difference.
      
      * Add comments and adjust indentations to data structures and several
        functions.
      
      * Rename wq_per_cpu() to get_cwq() and swap the position of two
        parameters for consistency.  Convert a direct per_cpu_ptr() access
        to wq->cpu_wq to get_cwq().
      
      * Add work_static() and Update set_wq_data() such that it sets the
        flags part to WORK_STRUCT_PENDING | WORK_STRUCT_STATIC if static |
        @extra_flags.
      
      * Move santiy check on work->entry emptiness from queue_work_on() to
        __queue_work() which all queueing paths share.
      
      * Make __queue_work() take @cpu and @wq instead of @cwq.
      
      * Restructure flush_work() and __create_workqueue_key() to make them
        easier to modify.

      workqueue: kill RT workqueue · c790bce0
      Tejun Heo authored
      With stop_machine() converted to use cpu_stop, RT workqueue doesn't
      have any user left.  Kill RT workqueue support.

      acpi: use queue_work_on() instead of binding workqueue worker to cpu0 · 8fec62b2
      Tejun Heo authored
      ACPI works need to be executed on cpu0 and acpi/osl.c achieves this by
      creating singlethread workqueue and then binding it to cpu0 from a
      work which is quite unorthodox.  Make it create regular workqueues and
      use queue_work_on() instead.  This is in preparation of concurrency
      managed workqueue and the extra workers won't be a problem after it's
      implemented.

      kthread: implement kthread_data() · 82805ab7
      Tejun Heo authored
      Implement kthread_data() which takes @task pointing to a kthread and
      returns @data specified when creating the kthread.  The caller is
      responsible for ensuring the validity of @task when calling this
      function.

      ivtv: use kthread_worker instead of workqueue · 7bc46560
      Tejun Heo authored
      Upcoming workqueue updates will no longer guarantee fixed workqueue to
      worker kthread association, so giving RT priority to the irq worker
      won't work.  Use kthread_worker which guarantees specific kthread
      association instead.  This also makes setting the priority cleaner.

      kthread: implement kthread_worker · b56c0d89
      Tejun Heo authored
      Implement simple work processor for kthread.  This is to ease using
      kthread.  Single thread workqueue used to be used for things like this
      but workqueue won't guarantee fixed kthread association anymore to
      enable worker sharing.
      
      This can be used in cases where specific kthread association is
      necessary, for example, when it should have RT priority or be assigned
      to certain cgroup.
