Subject: [PATCH 0/9] Convert Tasklets to BH Workqueues
Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2024 16:03:05 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240327160314.9982-1-apais@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
This patch series represents a significant shift in how asynchronous
execution in the bottom half (BH) context is handled within the kernel.
Traditionally, tasklets have been the go-to mechanism for such operations.
This series introduces the conversion of existing tasklet implementations
to the newly supported BH workqueues, marking a pivotal enhancement
in how asynchronous tasks are managed and executed.
Background and Motivation:
Tasklets have served as the kernel's lightweight mechanism for
scheduling bottom-half processing, providing a simple interface
for deferring work from interrupt context. There have been increasing
requests and motivations to deprecate and eventually remove tasklets
in favor of more modern and flexible mechanisms.
Introduction of BH Workqueues:
BH workqueues are designed to behave similarly to regular workqueues
with the added benefit of execution in the BH context.
Conversion Details:
The conversion process involved identifying all instances where
tasklets were used within the kernel and replacing them with BH workqueue
implementations.
This patch series is a first step toward broader adoption of BH workqueues
across the kernel, and soon other subsystems using tasklets will undergo
a similar transition. The groundwork laid here could serve as a
blueprint for such future conversions.
Testing Request:
In addition to a thorough review of these changes,
I kindly request that the reviwers engage in both functional and
performance testing of this patch series. Specifically, benchmarks
that measure interrupt handling efficiency, latency, and throughput.
I welcome your feedback, suggestions, and any further discussion on this
patch series.
