[PATCH v2 02/64] dmaengine: back channel BH helpers with WQ_BH
From: Allen Pais
Date: Mon Jul 27 2026 - 16:31:50 EST
Replace the tasklet implementation of the channel BH helpers with a
dedicated WQ_BH | WQ_PERCPU workqueue. The public dma_chan_*_bh() API and
its softirq execution context remain unchanged.
Keep the workqueue operations internal to dmaengine. Drain scheduled work
in dma_chan_kill_bh() to preserve the completion semantics of
tasklet_kill().
