This is potentially long running and not latency sensitive, let's get it out of the way of other latency sensitive events. As observed in the previous commit, the `system_wq` comes easily congested by bcache, and this fixes a few more stalls I was observing every once in a while. Let's not make this `WQ_MEM_RECLAIM` as it showed to reduce performance of boot and file system operations in my tests. Also, without `WQ_MEM_RECLAIM`, I no longer see desktop stalls. This matches the previous behavior as `system_wq` also does no memory reclaim: > // workqueue.c: > system_wq = alloc_workqueue("events", 0, 0); Cc: Coly Li Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 5.4+ Signed-off-by: Kai Krakow Signed-off-by: Coly Li Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- drivers/md/bcache/bcache.h | 1 + drivers/md/bcache/journal.c | 4 ++-- drivers/md/bcache/super.c | 16 ++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 19 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) --- a/drivers/md/bcache/bcache.h +++ b/drivers/md/bcache/bcache.h @@ -1001,6 +1001,7 @@ void bch_write_bdev_super(struct cached_ extern struct workqueue_struct *bcache_wq; extern struct workqueue_struct *bch_journal_wq; +extern struct workqueue_struct *bch_flush_wq; extern struct mutex bch_register_lock; extern struct list_head bch_cache_sets; --- a/drivers/md/bcache/journal.c +++ b/drivers/md/bcache/journal.c @@ -932,8 +932,8 @@ atomic_t *bch_journal(struct cache_set * journal_try_write(c); } else if (!w->dirty) { w->dirty = true; - schedule_delayed_work(&c->journal.work, - msecs_to_jiffies(c->journal_delay_ms)); + queue_delayed_work(bch_flush_wq, &c->journal.work, + msecs_to_jiffies(c->journal_delay_ms)); spin_unlock(&c->journal.lock); } else { spin_unlock(&c->journal.lock); --- a/drivers/md/bcache/super.c +++ b/drivers/md/bcache/super.c @@ -49,6 +49,7 @@ static int bcache_major; static DEFINE_IDA(bcache_device_idx); static wait_queue_head_t unregister_wait; struct workqueue_struct *bcache_wq; +struct workqueue_struct *bch_flush_wq; struct workqueue_struct *bch_journal_wq; @@ -2821,6 +2822,8 @@ static void bcache_exit(void) destroy_workqueue(bcache_wq); if (bch_journal_wq) destroy_workqueue(bch_journal_wq); + if (bch_flush_wq) + destroy_workqueue(bch_flush_wq); bch_btree_exit(); if (bcache_major) @@ -2884,6 +2887,19 @@ static int __init bcache_init(void) if (!bcache_wq) goto err; + /* + * Let's not make this `WQ_MEM_RECLAIM` for the following reasons: + * + * 1.
