From 143ddfa169bbb733275b1a720bafd5a4366b3d89 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marco Crivellari Date: Fri, 19 Sep 2025 16:50:37 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: replace use of system_wq with system_percpu_wq Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API. system_wq is a per-CPU worqueue, yet nothing in its name tells about that CPU affinity constraint, which is very often not required by users. Make it clear by adding a system_percpu_wq. The old wq will be kept for a few release cylces.
