From a85f1a41f020bc2c97611060bcfae6f48a1db28d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Viresh Kumar Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2013 17:12:57 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] fbcon: queue work on power efficient wq fbcon uses workqueues and it has no real dependency of scheduling these on the cpu which scheduled them. On a idle system, it is observed that and idle cpu wakes up many times just to service this work. It would be better if we can schedule it on a cpu which the scheduler believes to be the most appropriate one. This patch replaces system_wq with system_power_efficient_wq.
