[PATCH v2 wq/for-6.9] workqueue, irq_work: Build fix for !CONFIG_IRQ_WORK

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Fri Feb 16 2024 - 00:10:15 EST


2f34d7337d98 ("workqueue: Fix queue_work_on() with BH workqueues") added
irq_work usage to workqueue; however, it turns out irq_work is actually
optional and the change breaks build on configuration which doesn't have
CONFIG_IRQ_WORK enabled.

Fix build by making workqueue use irq_work only when CONFIG_SMP and enabling
CONFIG_IRQ_WORK when CONFIG_SMP is set. It's reasonable to argue that it may
be better to just always enable it. However, this still saves a small bit of
memory for tiny UP configs and also the least amount of change, so, for now,
let's keep it conditional.

Verified to do the right thing for x86_64 allnoconfig and defconfig, and
aarch64 allnoconfig, allnoconfig + prink disable (SMP but nothing selects
IRQ_WORK) and a modified aarch64 Kconfig where !SMP and nothing selects
IRQ_WORK.

v2: `depends on SMP` leads to Kconfig warnings when CONFIG_IRQ_WORK is
selected by something else when !CONFIG_SMP. Use `def_bool y if SMP`
instead.

Hello,

Unfortunately, the previous patch triggers Kconfig warnings when IRQ_WORK is
selected by something else but !CONFIG_SMP. This one seems to do the right
thing in all cases.

Naresh, Anders, can you please test it again?

Thanks.
