Merge tag 'wq-for-6.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq
Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo: "This cycle, a lot of workqueue changes including some that are significant and invasive. - During v6.6 cycle, unbound workqueues were updated so that they are more topology aware and flexible, which among other things improved workqueue behavior on modern multi-L3 CPUs. In the process, commit 636b927eba5b ("workqueue: Make unbound workqueues to use per-cpu pool_workqueues") switched unbound workqueues to use per-CPU frontend pool_workqueues as a part of increasing front-back mapping flexibility. An unwelcome side effect of this change was that this made max concurrency enforcement per-CPU blowing up the maximum number of allowed concurrent executions. I incorrectly assumed that this wouldn't cause practical problems as most unbound workqueue users are self-regulate max concurrency; however, there definitely are which don't (e.g. on IO paths) and the drastic increase in the allowed max concurrency led to noticeable perf regressions in some use cases. This is now addressed by separating out max concurrency enforcement to a separate struct - wq_node_nr_active - which makes @max_active consistently mean system-wide max concurrency regardless of the number of CPUs or (finally) NUMA nodes. This is a rather invasive and, in places, a bit clunky; however, the clunkiness rises from the the inherent requirement to handle the disagreement between the execution locality domain and max concurrency enforcement domain on some modern machines. See commit 5797b1c18919 ("workqueue: Implement system-wide nr_active enforcement for unbound workqueues") for more details. - BH workqueue support is added. They are similar to per-CPU workqueues but execute work items in the softirq context. This is expected to replace tasklet. However, currently, it's missing the ability to disable and enable work items which is needed to convert many tasklet users. To avoid crowding this merge window too much, this will be included in the next merge window. A separate pull request will be sent for the couple conversion patches that are currently pending. - Waiman plugged a long-standing hole in workqueue CPU isolation where ordered workqueues didn't follow wq_unbound_cpumask updates. Ordered workqueues now follow the same rules as other unbound workqueues. - More CPU isolation improvements: Juri fixed another deficit in workqueue isolation where unbound rescuers don't respect wq_unbound_cpumask. Leonardo fixed delayed_work timers firing on isolated CPUs. - Other misc changes" * tag 'wq-for-6.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: (54 commits) workqueue: Drain BH work items on hot-unplugged CPUs workqueue: Introduce from_work() helper for cleaner callback declarations workqueue: Control intensive warning threshold through cmdline workqueue: Make @flags handling consistent across set_work_data() and friends workqueue: Remove clear_work_data() workqueue: Factor out work_grab_pending() from __cancel_work_sync() workqueue: Clean up enum work_bits and related constants workqueue: Introduce work_cancel_flags workqueue: Use variable name irq_flags for saving local irq flags workqueue: Reorganize flush and cancel[_sync] functions workqueue: Rename __cancel_work_timer() to __cancel_timer_sync() workqueue: Use rcu_read_lock_any_held() instead of rcu_read_lock_held() workqueue: Cosmetic changes workqueue, irq_work: Build fix for !CONFIG_IRQ_WORK workqueue: Fix queue_work_on() with BH workqueues async: Use a dedicated unbound workqueue with raised min_active workqueue: Implement workqueue_set_min_active() workqueue: Fix kernel-doc comment of unplug_oldest_pwq() workqueue: Bind unbound workqueue rescuer to wq_unbound_cpumask kernel/workqueue: Let rescuers follow unbound wq cpumask changes ...
