2011-01-04crypto: mark crypto workqueues CPU_INTENSIVETejun Heo1-1/+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.

2009-02-19crypto: api - Use dedicated workqueue for crypto subsystemHuang Ying1-0/+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.
