[PATCH v2] regulator: irq_helper: replace use of system_wq with system_dfl_wq
From: Marco Crivellari
Date: Thu Nov 06 2025 - 09:29:24 EST
Currently if a user enqueues 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.
This continues the effort to refactor worqueue APIs, which has begun
with the change introducing new workqueues and a new alloc_workqueue flag:
commit 128ea9f6ccfb ("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq")
commit 930c2ea566af ("workqueue: Add new WQ_PERCPU flag")
This specific workload do not benefit from a per-cpu workqueue, so use
the default unbound workqueue (system_dfl_wq) instead.
