[PATCH wq/for-6.9] workqueue, irq_work: Build fix for !CONFIG_IRQ_WORK
Posted by Tejun Heo 1 year, 11 months ago

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.

Hello,

As this is breaking build for some configs, I'll apply this to wq/for-6.9.
If there's any objection, please let me know. I'll back out and work on a
different approach.

Thanks.

[PATCH v2 wq/for-6.9] workqueue, irq_work: Build fix for !CONFIG_IRQ_WORK
Posted by Tejun Heo 1 year, 11 months ago 
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.

I applied this patch on yesterdays next tag next-20240215 and I was able to
build the arm64 tinyconfig.

Thanks for confirming. Applying to wq/for-6.9. Hopefully, this won't cause
any new breakages.

Thanks.
