[PATCH 07/47] netfilter: conntrack: Change to deferable work queue

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

 



From: "subashab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <subashab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Delayed workqueue causes wakeups to idle CPUs. This was
causing a power impact for devices. Use deferable work
queue instead so that gc_worker runs when CPU is active only.
