Merge branch 'for-3.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq
Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of reorganization is going on mostly to prepare for worker pools
with custom attributes so that workqueue can replace custom pool
implementations in places including writeback and btrfs and make CPU
assignment in crypto more flexible.
workqueue evolved from purely per-cpu design and implementation, so
there are a lot of assumptions regarding being bound to CPUs and even
unbound workqueues are implemented as an extension of the model -
workqueues running on the special unbound CPU. Bulk of changes this
round are about promoting worker_pools as the top level abstraction
replacing global_cwq (global cpu workqueue). At this point, I'm
fairly confident about getting custom worker pools working pretty soon
and ready for the next merge window.
Lai's patches are replacing the convoluted mb() dancing workqueue has
been doing with much simpler mechanism which only depends on
assignment atomicity of long. For details, please read the commit
message of 0b3dae68ac ("workqueue: simplify is-work-item-queued-here
test"). While the change ends up adding one pointer to struct
delayed_work, the inflation in percentage is less than five percent
and it decouples delayed_work logic a lot more cleaner from usual work
handling, removes the unusual memory barrier dancing, and allows for
further simplification, so I think the trade-off is acceptable.
There will be two more workqueue related pull requests and there are
some shared commits among them. I'll write further pull requests
assuming this pull request is pulled first."
