[PATCH 25/32] ext4: convert to alloc_workqueue()

From: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
Date: 2011-01-03 13:50:50
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: ext4 file system, filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: "Theodore Ts'o", Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

Convert create_workqueue() to alloc_workqueue().  This is an identity
conversion.

It might be helpful to use higher max concurrency.  I don't think it
would make a lot of difference tho.  Please feel free to take it into
the subsystem tree or simply ack - I'll route it through the wq tree.

Thanks.
