fsverity: Remove WQ_UNBOUND from fsverity read workqueue
commit f959325 upstream. WQ_UNBOUND causes significant scheduler latency on ARM64/Android. This is problematic for latency sensitive workloads, like I/O post-processing. Removing WQ_UNBOUND gives a 96% reduction in fsverity workqueue related scheduler latency and improves app cold startup times by ~30ms. WQ_UNBOUND was also removed from the dm-verity workqueue for the same reason [1]. This code was tested by running Android app startup benchmarks and measuring how long the fsverity workqueue spent in the runnable state. Before Total workqueue scheduler latency: 553800us After Total workqueue scheduler latency: 18962us [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/ Signed-off-by: Nathan Huckleberry <[email protected]> Fixes: 8a1d0f9 ("fs-verity: add data verification hooks for ->readpages()") Cc: [email protected] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>
