For historical reasons, unbound workqueues with max concurrency limit of 1 are considered ordered, even though the concurrency limit hasn't been system-wide for a long time. This creates ambiguity around whether ordered execution is actually required for correctness, which was actually confusing for e.g. btrfs (btrfs updates are being routed through the btrfs tree). There aren't that many users in the tree which use the combination and there are pending improvements to unbound workqueue affinity handling which will make inadvertent use of ordered workqueue a bigger loss. This pull request clarifies the situation for most of them by updating the ones which require ordered execution to use alloc_ordered_workqueue(). There are some conversions being routed through subsystem-specific trees and likely a few stragglers. Once they're all converted, workqueue can trigger a warning on unbound + @max_active==1 usages and eventually drop the implicit ordered behavior. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIQEABYIACwWIQTfIjM1kS57o3GsC/uxYfJx3gVYGQUCZJoKnA4cdGpAa2VybmVs Lm9yZwAKCRCxYfJx3gVYGc5SAQDOtjML7Cx9AYzbY5+nYc0wTebRRTXGeOu7A3Xy j50rVgEAjHgvHLIdmeYmVhCeHOSN4q7Wn5AOwaIqZalOhfLyKQk= =hs79 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'wq-for-6.5-cleanup-ordered' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq Pull ordered workqueue creation updates from Tejun Heo: "For historical reasons, unbound workqueues with max concurrency limit of 1 are considered ordered, even though the concurrency limit hasn't been system-wide for a long time.
