[PATCH 09/10] scsi/ibmvscsi: Replace srp tasklet with work

Tue May 31 09:15:11 AEST 2022


Tasklets have long been deprecated as being too heavy on the system
by running in irq context - and this is not a performance critical
path. If a higher priority process wants to run, it must wait for
the tasklet to finish before doing so.

Process srps asynchronously in process context in a dedicated
single threaded workqueue.
