# \[PATCH V4 4/4\] fbcon: queue work on unbound wq - From: Viresh Kumar \ - Date: 2013-03-31 14:39:05 - List: linux-fbdev - Page: https://ratatoskr.run/linux-fbdev/2013/03/13464772 - Thread: https://ratatoskr.run/linux-fbdev/2013/03/13464772/t.md ```text fbcon uses workqueues and it has no real dependency of scheduling these on the cpu which scheduled them. On a idle system, it is observed that and idle cpu wakes up many times just to service this work. It would be better if we can schedule it on a cpu which the scheduler believes to be the most appropriate one. This patch replaces system_wq with system_unbound_wq.
