Subject: [RFC PATCHv2] net: ipv4: move inetpeer garbage collector work to power efficient workqueue
Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2014 10:48:07 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1391194087-12195-1-git-send-email-zoran.markovic@linaro.org> (raw)

From: Shaibal Dutta <shaibal.dutta@broadcom.com>

Garbage collector work does not have to be bound to the CPU that scheduled
it. By moving work to the power-efficient workqueue, the selection of
CPU executing the work is left to the scheduler. This extends idle
residency times and conserves power.

This functionality is enabled when CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT is selected.
