[PATCH v2 2/4] drm/amdgpu: replace use of system_wq with system_dfl_wq

From: Marco Crivellari
Date: Mon Nov 03 2025 - 11:03:15 EST


Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.

This lack of consistency cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.

system_wq is the per-cpu workqueue, replaced by system_percpu_wq. This
specific workload does not benefit from a per-cpu workqueue, so use the
new unbound workqueue instead (system_dfl_wq).

The above change introduced in the Workqueue API has been introduced by:

commit 128ea9f6ccfb ("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq")

The old wq (system_wq) will be kept for a few release cycles.
