Pull ordered workqueue creation updates from Tejun Heo: "For historical reasons, unbound workqueues with max concurrency limit of 1 are considered ordered, even though the concurrency limit hasn't been system-wide for a long time. This creates ambiguity around whether ordered execution is actually required for correctness, which was actually confusing for e.g. btrfs (btrfs updates are being routed through the btrfs tree). There aren't that many users in the tree which use the combination and there are pending improvements to unbound workqueue affinity handling which will make inadvertent use of ordered workqueue a bigger loss. This clarifies the situation for most of them by updating the ones which require ordered execution to use alloc_ordered_workqueue(). There are some conversions being routed through subsystem-specific trees and likely a few stragglers. Once they're all converted, workqueue can trigger a warning on unbound + @max_active==1 usages and eventually drop the implicit ordered behavior" * tag 'wq-for-6.5-cleanup-ordered' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: rxrpc: Use alloc_ordered_workqueue() to create ordered workqueues net: qrtr: Use alloc_ordered_workqueue() to create ordered workqueues net: wwan: t7xx: Use alloc_ordered_workqueue() to create ordered workqueues dm integrity: Use alloc_ordered_workqueue() to create ordered workqueues media: amphion: Use alloc_ordered_workqueue() to create ordered workqueues scsi: NCR5380: Use default @max_active for hostdata->work_q media: coda: Use alloc_ordered_workqueue() to create ordered workqueues crypto: octeontx2: Use alloc_ordered_workqueue() to create ordered workqueues wifi: ath10/11/12k: Use alloc_ordered_workqueue() to create ordered workqueues wifi: mwifiex: Use default @max_active for workqueues wifi: iwlwifi: Use default @max_active for trans_pcie->rba.alloc_wq xen/pvcalls: Use alloc_ordered_workqueue() to create ordered workqueues virt: acrn: Use alloc_ordered_workqueue() to create ordered workqueues net: octeontx2: Use alloc_ordered_workqueue() to create ordered workqueues net: thunderx: Use alloc_ordered_workqueue() to create ordered workqueues greybus: Use alloc_ordered_workqueue() to create ordered workqueues powerpc, workqueue: Use alloc_ordered_workqueue() to create ordered workqueues
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
