[patch 143/143] kfence: use power-efficient work queue to run delayed work

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

 



From: Marco Elver <elver@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: kfence: use power-efficient work queue to run delayed work

Use the power-efficient work queue, to avoid the pathological case where
we keep pinning ourselves on the same possibly idle CPU on systems that
want to be power-efficient (https://lwn.net/Articles/731052/).
