From 7635d2fd7f0fa63b6ec03050614c314d7139f14a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joonsoo Kim Date: Wed, 15 Aug 2012 23:25:41 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] workqueue: use system_highpri_wq for unbind_work To speed cpu down processing up, use system_highpri_wq. As scheduling priority of workers on it is higher than system_wq and it is not contended by other normal works on this cpu, work on it is processed faster than system_wq. tj: CPU up/downs care quite a bit about latency these days. This shouldn't hurt anything and makes sense.
