Commit Message

Allen Pais March 27, 2024, 4:03 p.m. UTC
The only generic interface to execute asynchronously in the BH context is
tasklet; however, it's marked deprecated and has some design flaws. To
replace tasklets, BH workqueue support was recently added. A BH workqueue
behaves similarly to regular workqueues except that the queued work items
are executed in the BH context.

This patch converts drivers/infiniband/* from tasklet to BH workqueue.

Based on the work done by Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
Branch: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq.git for-6.10

Hi Allen, the usbatm bits look very reasonable to me.  Unfortunately I don't 
have the hardware to test any more.  Still, for what it's worth:

No it does not, I think your changelog is wrong :(

"workqueue"?  This too seems wrong.

Same for other comment changes in this patch.

Whoops, sorry about that. I messed up the commit messages. I will fix it in v2.

Is there any reason for this apparently pointless change of a local
variable's name?

 No, it was done just to keep things consistent across the kernel.
I can revert it back to *work if you'd prefer.

Thanks.
