[PATCH 1/2 wq/for-6.9] workqueue: Implement workqueue_set_min_active()

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Thu Feb 08 2024 - 19:12:09 EST


Since 5797b1c18919 ("workqueue: Implement system-wide nr_active enforcement
for unbound workqueues"), unbound workqueues have separate min_active which
sets the number of interdependent work items that can be handled. This value
is currently initialized to WQ_DFL_MIN_ACTIVE which is 8. This isn't high
enough for some users, let's add an interface to adjust the setting.
