[PATCH v4 4/5] async: Add support for queueing on specific node

From: Alexander Duyck
Date: Thu Sep 20 2018 - 18:29:59 EST


This patch introduces two new variants of the async_schedule_ functions
that allow scheduling on a specific node. These functions are
async_schedule_on and async_schedule_on_domain which end up mapping to
async_schedule and async_schedule_domain but provide NUMA node specific
functionality. The original functions were moved to inline function
definitions that call the new functions while passing NUMA_NO_NODE.

The main motivation behind this is to address the need to be able to
schedule NVDIMM init work on specific NUMA nodes in order to improve
performance of memory initialization.

One additional change I made is I dropped the "extern" from the function
prototypes in the async.h kernel header since they aren't needed.
