[PATCH 1/2] driver: core: add dedicated workqueue for devlink removal

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Nuno Sa <nuno.sa@xxxxxxxxxx>

Let's use a dedicated queue for devlinks since releasing a link happens
asynchronously but some code paths, like DT overlays, have some
expectations regarding the of_node when being removed (the refcount must
be 1). Given how devlinks are released that cannot be assured. Hence, add a
dedicated queue so that it's easy to sync against devlinks removal.

While at it, make sure to explicitly include <linux/workqueue.h>.
