[dm-devel] [PATCH 5/6] dm: use non-reentrant workqueues if equivalent

Sun Dec 12 19:10:54 UTC 2010


kmirrord_wq, kcopyd_work and md->wq are created per dm instance and
serves only single work item from the dm instance, so non-reentrant
workqueues would provide the same ordering guarantees as ordered ones
while allowing CPU affinity and use of the workqueues for other
purposes.  Switch them to non-reentrant workqueues.
