*	crypto: mark crypto workqueues CPU_INTENSIVE	Tejun Heo	2011-01-04	1	-1/+2
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	kcrypto_wq and pcrypt->wq's are used to run ciphers and may consume considerable amount of CPU cycles. Mark both as CPU_INTENSIVE so that they don't block other work items. As the workqueues are primarily used to burn CPU cycles, concurrency levels shouldn't matter much and are left at 1. A higher value may be beneficial and needs investigation. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
*	crypto: api - Use dedicated workqueue for crypto subsystem	Huang Ying	2009-02-19	1	-0/+38
	Use dedicated workqueue for crypto subsystem A dedicated workqueue named kcrypto_wq is created to be used by crypto subsystem. The system shared keventd_wq is not suitable for encryption/decryption, because of potential starvation problem.
