Linus Torvalds d6b6d39054 workqueue: Changes for v6.13
- Maximum concurrency limit of 512 which was set a long time ago is too low
   now. A legitimate use (BPF cgroup release) of system_wq could saturate it
   under stress test conditions leading to false dependencies and deadlocks.
   While the offending use was switched to a dedicated workqueue, use the
   opportunity to bump WQ_MAX_ACTIVE four fold and document that system
   workqueue shouldn't be saturated. Workqueue should add at least a warning
   mechanism for cases where system workqueues are saturated.
 
 - Recent workqueue updates to support more flexible execution topology made
   unbound workqueues use per-cpu worker pool frontends which pushed up
   workqueue flush overhead. As consecutive CPUs are likely to be pointing to
   the same worker pool, reduce overhead by switching locks only when
   necessary.

 - The maximum concurrency limit of 512 which was set a long time ago is
   too low now.

   A legitimate use (BPF cgroup release) of system_wq could saturate it
   under stress test conditions leading to false dependencies and
   deadlocks.

   While the offending use was switched to a dedicated workqueue, use
   the opportunity to bump WQ_MAX_ACTIVE four fold and document that
   system workqueue shouldn't be saturated. Workqueue should add at
   least a warning mechanism for cases where system workqueues are
   saturated.

 - Recent workqueue updates to support more flexible execution topology
   made unbound workqueues use per-cpu worker pool frontends which
   pushed up workqueue flush overhead.

   As consecutive CPUs are likely to be pointing to the same worker
   pool, reduce overhead by switching locks only when necessary.
