* workqueue: implicit ordered attribute should be overridableTejun Heo2017-11-061-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 0a94efb5acbb6980d7c9ab604372d93cd507e4d8 upstream. 5c0338c68706 ("workqueue: restore WQ_UNBOUND/max_active==1 to be ordered") automatically enabled ordered attribute for unbound workqueues w/ max_active == 1. Because ordered workqueues reject max_active and some attribute changes, this implicit ordered mode broke cases where the user creates an unbound workqueue w/ max_active == 1 and later explicitly changes the related attributes. This patch distinguishes explicit and implicit ordered setting and overrides from attribute changes if implict.

* workqueue: Add system wide power_efficient workqueuesViresh Kumar2016-08-261-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds system wide workqueues aligned towards power saving. This is done by allocating them with WQ_UNBOUND flag if 'wq_power_efficient' is set to 'true'. tj: updated comments a bit.

* workqueues: Introduce new flag WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT for power oriented workqueuesViresh Kumar2016-08-261-0/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Workqueues can be performance or power-oriented. Currently, most workqueues are bound to the CPU they were created on. This gives good performance (due to cache effects) at the cost of potentially waking up otherwise idle cores (Idle from scheduler's perspective. Which may or may not be physically idle) just to process some work. To save power, we can allow the work to be rescheduled on a core that is already awake. Workqueues created with the WQ_UNBOUND flag will allow some power savings. However, we don't change the default behaviour of the system. To enable power-saving behaviour, a new config option CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT needs to be turned on. This option can also be overridden by the workqueue.power_efficient boot parameter. tj: Updated config description and comments. Renamed CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT to CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT_DEFAULT.
