Linus Torvalds 72dc6db7e3 workqueue: Ordered workqueue creation cleanups
For historical reasons, unbound workqueues with max concurrency limit of 1
 are considered ordered, even though the concurrency limit hasn't been
 system-wide for a long time. This creates ambiguity around whether ordered
 execution is actually required for correctness, which was actually confusing
 for e.g. btrfs (btrfs updates are being routed through the btrfs tree).
 
 There aren't that many users in the tree which use the combination and there
 are pending improvements to unbound workqueue affinity handling which will
 make inadvertent use of ordered workqueue a bigger loss. This pull request
 clarifies the situation for most of them by updating the ones which require
 ordered execution to use alloc_ordered_workqueue().
 
 There are some conversions being routed through subsystem-specific trees and
 likely a few stragglers. Once they're all converted, workqueue can trigger a
 warning on unbound + @max_active==1 usages and eventually drop the implicit
 ordered behavior.
