workqueue: increase max_active of keventd and kill current_is_keventd()
Define WQ_MAX_ACTIVE and create keventd with max_active set to half of it which means that keventd now can process upto WQ_MAX_ACTIVE / 2 - 1 works concurrently. Unless some combination can result in dependency loop longer than max_active, deadlock won't happen and thus it's unnecessary to check whether current_is_keventd() before trying to schedule a work. Kill current_is_keventd(). (Lockdep annotations are broken. We need lock_map_acquire_read_norecurse()) Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>
