[PATCH 2/4] 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 c... 2 Jul 2010 05:50

[PATCHSET] workqueue: implement and use WQ_UNBOUND
Hello, David, Arjan. These four patches implement unbound workqueues which can be used as simple execution context provider. I changed async to use it and will also make fscache use it. This can be used by setting WQ_UNBOUND on workqueue creation. Works queued to unbound workqueues are implicitly HIGHPRI and ... 2 Jul 2010 05:50
