Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] Replace wq users and add WQ_PERCPU to alloc_workqueue() users
Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2026 12:46:27 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260113114630.152942-1-marco.crivellari@suse.com> (raw)

Hi,

This series continues the effort to refactor the Workqueue API.
No behavior changes are introduced by this series.

=== Recent changes to the WQ API ===

The following, address the recent changes in the Workqueue API:

- commit 128ea9f6ccfb ("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq")
- commit 930c2ea566af ("workqueue: Add new WQ_PERCPU flag")

The old workqueues will be removed in a future release cycle and
unbound will become the implicit default.

=== Introduced Changes by this series ===

1) [P 1-2] Replace use of system_wq and system_unbound_wq

    Workqueue users converted to the better named new workqueues:

        system_wq -> system_percpu_wq
        system_unbound_wq -> system_dfl_wq

    This way the old obsolete workqueues (system_wq, system_unbound_wq) can be
    removed in the future.

2) [P 3] add WQ_PERCPU to remaining alloc_workqueue() users

    With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND),
    any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND
    must now use WQ_PERCPU.

    WQ_UNBOUND will be removed in future.
