From c994be4a7c8471b950ed9baf4558ff488b127ec8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bhaktipriya Shridhar Date: Sat, 16 Jul 2016 05:50:28 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] [media] gspca: sonixj: Remove deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue The workqueue "work_thread" is involved in updating the JPEG quality of the gspca_dev. It has a single work item(&sd->work) and hence doesn't require ordering. Also, it is not being used on a memory reclaim path. Hence, the singlethreaded workqueue has been replaced with the use of system_wq. System workqueues have been able to handle high level of concurrency for a long time now and hence it's not required to have a singlethreaded workqueue just to gain concurrency. Unlike a dedicated per-cpu workqueue created with create_singlethread_workqueue(), system_wq allows multiple work items to overlap executions even on the same CPU; however, a per-cpu workqueue doesn't have any CPU locality or global ordering guarantee unless the target CPU is explicitly specified and thus the increase of local concurrency shouldn't make any difference. Work item has been flushed in sd_stop0() to ensure that there are no pending tasks while disconnecting the driver.
