From 0984d427c1d3cb2aa882c9ad9e787ba973cf2915 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vincent Guittot Date: Thu, 2 Nov 2017 16:16:07 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: conntrack: use power efficient workqueue conntrack uses the bounded system_long_wq workqueue for its works that don't have to run on the cpu they have been queued. Using bounded workqueue prevents the scheduler to make smart decision about the best place to schedule the work. This patch replaces system_long_wq with system_power_efficient_wq. the work stays bounded to a cpu by default unless the CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT is enable. In the latter case, the work can be scheduled on the best cpu from a power or a performance point of view.
