Workqueque的创建
  首先申请了workqueue_struct结构体内存,cpu_workqueue_struct结构体的内存。然后在init_cpu_workqueue函数中对cpu_workqueue_struct结构体进行初始化。同时调用create_workqueue_thread函数创建处理工作队列的内核进程。
  create_workqueue_thread中创建了如下的内核进程
  p = kthread_create(worker_thread, cwq, fmt, wq->name, cpu);
  后调用start_workqueue_thread启动新创建的进程。
struct workqueue_struct *__create_workqueue_key(const char *name,
int singlethread,
int freezeable,
int rt,
struct lock_class_key *key,
const char *lock_name)
{
struct workqueue_struct *wq;
struct cpu_workqueue_struct *cwq;
int err = 0, cpu;wq = kzalloc(sizeof(*wq), GFP_KERNEL);
if (!wq)
return NULL;
wq->cpu_wq = alloc_percpu(struct cpu_workqueue_struct);
if (!wq->cpu_wq)
{
kfree(wq);
return NULL;
}
wq->name = name;
lockdep_init_map(&wq->lockdep_map, lock_name, key, 0);
wq->singlethread = singlethread;
wq->freezeable = freezeable;
wq->rt = rt;
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&wq->list);
if (singlethread)
{
cwq = init_cpu_workqueue(wq, singlethread_cpu);
err = create_workqueue_thread(cwq, singlethread_cpu);
start_workqueue_thread(cwq, -1);
}
else
{
cpu_maps_update_begin();
/*
* We must place this wq on list even if the code below fails.
* cpu_down(cpu) can remove cpu from cpu_populated_map before
* destroy_workqueue() takes the lock, in that case we leak
* cwq[cpu]->thread.
*/
spin_lock(&workqueue_lock);
list_add(&wq->list, &workqueues);
spin_unlock(&workqueue_lock);
/*
* We must initialize cwqs for each possible cpu even if we
* are going to call destroy_workqueue() finally. Otherwise
* cpu_up() can hit the uninitialized cwq once we drop the
* lock.
*/
for_each_possible_cpu(cpu)
{
cwq = init_cpu_workqueue(wq, cpu);
if (err || !cpu_online(cpu))
continue;
err = create_workqueue_thread(cwq, cpu);
start_workqueue_thread(cwq, cpu);
}
cpu_maps_update_done();
}
if (err)
{
destroy_workqueue(wq);
wq = NULL;
}
return wq;
}

  向工作队列中添加工作
  Shedule_work 函数向工作队列中添加任务。这个接口比较简单,无非是一些队列操作,不再叙述。
  /**
  * schedule_work - put work task in global workqueue
  * @work: job to be done
  *
  * This puts a job in the kernel-global workqueue.
  */
  int schedule_work(struct work_struct *work)
  {
  return queue_work(keventd_wq, work);
  }
  EXPORT_SYMBOL(schedule_work);
  工作队列内核进程的处理过程
  在创建工作队列的时候,我们创建了一个或者多个进程来处理挂到队列上的工作。这个内核进程的主要函数体为worker_thread,这个函数比较有意思的地方是,自己降低的优先级,说明worker_thread调度的优先级比较低。在系统负载大大时候,采用工作队列执行的操作可能存在较大的延迟。
  函数的执行流程来说是真心的简单,只是从队列中取出work,从队列中删除掉,清除掉pending标记,并执行work设置的回调函数。
