Use the exported helper for queueing task_work for message passing, rather than rolling our own. Note that this is only done for strict data messages for now, file descriptor passing messages still rely on the kernel task_work. It could get converted at some point if it's performance critical. This improves peak performance of message passing by about 5x in some basic testing, with 2 threads just sending messages to each other. Before this change, it was capped at around 700K/sec, with the change it's at over 4M/sec. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
