Should this workqueue use 'WQ_HIGHPRI | WQ_UNBOUND' or some flags like this
to decrease the unexpected
latency of I/O PageFault here? Or maybe, workqueue will show an uncontrolled
latency, even in a busy system.
I'll investigate the effect of these flags. So far I've only run on
completely idle systems but it would be interesting to add some
workqueue-heavy load in my tests.
I'm not sure, just my concern. Hopefully, Tejun Heo can give us some
hints. :)
