    drm/amdkfd: Remove create_workqueue() · fd320bf6
    Bhaktipriya Shridhar 提交于
    alloc_workqueue replaces deprecated create_workqueue().
    
    create_workqueue has been replaced with alloc_workqueue with max_active
    as 0 since there is no need for throttling the number of active work items.
    
    WQ_MEM_RECLAIM has not been set to because kfd_process_wq will not be
    used in memory reclaim path.
    
    kfd_process_wq is used for delay destruction. A work item embedded in
    kfd_process gets queued to kfd_process_wq and when it executes it
    destroys and frees the containing kfd_process and thus itself.
    
    This requires a dedicated workqueue because a work item once queued, may
    get freed at any point of time and any external entity cannot
    flush the work item. So, in order to wait for such a work item,
    it needs to be put on a dedicated workqueue.
    
    kfd_module_exit() calls kfd_process_destroy_wq which ensures that all
    pending work items are finished before the module is removed.
    
    flush_workqueue is unnecessary since destroy_workqueue() itself calls
    drain_workqueue() which flushes repeatedly till the workqueue
    becomes empty.
    
    Hence flush_workqueue has been removed.
