From 906e073f3e842877b59d669b25aa76f65ba775b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: viresh kumar Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2014 12:23:32 +0530 Subject: net/ipv4: queue work on power efficient wq Workqueue used in ipv4 layer have no real dependency of scheduling these on the cpu which scheduled them. On a idle system, it is observed that an idle cpu wakes up many times just to service this work. It would be better if we can schedule it on a cpu which the scheduler believes to be the most appropriate one. This patch replaces normal workqueues with power efficient versions. This doesn't change existing behavior of code unless CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT is enabled. Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar Signed-off-by: David S.
