Merge tag 'wq-for-6.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq
Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
- Unbound workqueues now support more flexible affinity scopes.
The default behavior is to soft-affine according to last level cache
boundaries. A work item queued from a given LLC is executed by a
worker running on the same LLC but the worker may be moved across
cache boundaries as the scheduler sees fit. On machines which
multiple L3 caches, which are becoming more popular along with
chiplet designs, this improves cache locality while not harming work
conservation too much.
Unbound workqueues are now also a lot more flexible in terms of
execution affinity. Differeing levels of affinity scopes are
supported and both the default and per-workqueue affinity settings
can be modified dynamically. This should help working around amny of
sub-optimal behaviors observed recently with asymmetric ARM CPUs.
This involved signficant restructuring of workqueue code. Nothing was
reported yet but there's some risk of subtle regressions. Should keep
an eye out.
- Rescuer workers now has more identifiable comms.
- workqueue.unbound_cpus added so that CPUs which can be used by
workqueue can be constrained early during boot.
- Now that all the in-tree users have been flushed out, trigger warning
if system-wide workqueues are flushed.
