[PATCH 21/32] fs/aio: aio_wq isn't used in memory reclaim path

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Mon Jan 03 2011 - 08:53:38 EST


aio_wq isn't used during memory reclaim. Convert to alloc_workqueue()
without WQ_MEM_RECLAIM. It's possible to use system_wq but given that
the number of work items is determined from userland and the work item
may block, enforcing strict concurrency limit would be a good idea.

Please feel free to take it into the subsystem tree or simply ack -
I'll route it through the wq tree.

Thanks.
