    block: remove WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT from kblockd · 28747fcd
    Matias Bjørling authored
    blk-mq issues async requests through kblockd. To issue a work request on
    a specific CPU, kblockd_schedule_delayed_work_on is used. However, the
    specific CPU choice may not be honored, if the power_efficient option
    for workqueues is set. blk-mq requires that we have strict per-cpu
    scheduling, so it wont work properly if kblockd is marked
    POWER_EFFICIENT and power_efficient is set.
    
    Remove the kblockd WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT flag to prevent this behavior.
    This essentially reverts part of commit 695588f9
    
    , which added
    the WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT marker to kblockd.
