>From 40c17f75dfa9ec163478efd3f7443fd6af9992c9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2018 05:38:37 -0800 Workqueues can be created early during boot before workqueue subsystem in fully online - work items are queued waiting for later full initialization. However, early init wasn't supported for WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueues causing unnecessary annoyances for a subset of users. Expand early init support to include WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueues.
