    workqueue: Add "Affinity Scopes and Performance" section to documentation · 7dbf15c5
    Tejun Heo authored
    With affinity scopes and their strictness setting added, unbound workqueues
    should now be able to cover wide variety of configurations and use cases.
    Unfortunately, the performance picture is not entirely straight-forward due
    to a trade-off between efficiency and work-conservation in some situations
    necessitating manual configuration.
    
    This patch adds "Affinity Scopes and Performance" section to
    Documentation/core-api/workqueue.rst which illustrates the trade-off with a
    set of experiments and provides some guidelines.
