    net: ethernet: wiznet: Remove create_workqueue · 41cae08c
    Bhaktipriya Shridhar authored
    alloc_workqueue replaces deprecated create_workqueue().
    
    A dedicated workqueue has been used since the workitems are involved
    in normal device operation. Workitems &priv->rx_work and &priv->tx_work,
    map to w5100_rx_work and w5100_tx_work respectively and are involved in
    receiving and transmitting packets. Forward progress under
    memory pressure is a requirement here.
    
    create_workqueue has been replaced with alloc_workqueue with max_active
    as 0 since there is no need for throttling the number of active work
    items.
    
    Since the driver may be used in memory reclaim path,
    WQ_MEM_RECLAIM has been set to guarantee forward progress.
    
    flush_workqueue is unnecessary since destroy_workqueue() itself calls
    drain_workqueue() which flushes repeatedly till the workqueue
    becomes empty. Hence the call to flush_workqueue() has been dropped.
