[PATCH 2/5] rust: workqueue: replace deprecated system_wq with system_{percpu,dfl}_wq
From: Danilo Krummrich
Date: Sun Jul 26 2026 - 18:38:55 EST
system_wq is deprecated and triggers a runtime warning:
[ 0.857414] workqueue: work func ...WorkItemPointerKy0_E3runB7_ enqueued on deprecated workqueue. Use system_{percpu|dfl}_wq instead.
Replace system() with system_percpu() and system_dfl(), to match the
previous behavior of the deprecated system() and convert doc examples
and tests to system_dfl().
