The only generic interface to execute asynchronously in the BH context is
tasklet; however, it's marked deprecated and has some design flaws. To
replace tasklets, BH workqueue support was recently added. A BH workqueue
behaves similarly to regular workqueues except that the queued work items
are executed in the BH context.

This patch converts drivers/dma/* from tasklet to BH workqueue.

Based on the work done by Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
Branch: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq.git for-6.10

Hi Allen,

Subsytem is dmaengine, can you rename this to dmaengine: ...

Thanks for conversion, am happy with BH alternative as it helps in
dmaengine where we need shortest possible time between tasklet and
interrupt handling to maximize dma performance

Can we name these as bh_work to signify that we are always in bh

This is good conversion, thanks for ensuring system_bh_highpri_wq is
used here

 Thank you very much for the review, will have v2 sent soon.

 Alright, I will work on moving work_struck into the dma_chan and
leave the dma_dev as is (using bh workqueues) and post a RFC.
Once reviewed, I could move to the next step.

Thank you.

That might be better from a performance pov but the current design is a
global tasklet and not a per chan one... We would need to carefully
review and test this for sure

Sounds like a good plan to me

Hi Allen,

thanks for your patch!

Why is "my" driver not allowed to use system_bh_highpri_wq?

I can't see the reasoning between some drivers using system_bh_wq
and others being highpri?

Given the DMA usecase I would expect them all to be high prio.
