From f34217977d717385a3e9fd7018ac39fade3964c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Fri, 2 Jul 2010 10:03:51 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] workqueue: implement unbound workqueue This patch implements unbound workqueue which can be specified with WQ_UNBOUND flag on creation. An unbound workqueue has the following properties. * It uses a dedicated gcwq with a pseudo CPU number WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. This gcwq is always online and disassociated. * Workers are not bound to any CPU and not concurrency managed. Works are dispatched to workers as soon as possible and the only applied limitation is @max_active. IOW, all unbound workqeueues are implicitly high priority. Unbound workqueues can be used as simple execution context provider. Contexts unbound to any cpu are served as soon as possible.
