Phylib uses workqueues for multiple purposes. There is 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 for PHYLIB. Cc: David S.
