The combination of WQ_UNBOUND and max_active == 1 used to imply ordered execution. After NUMA affinity4c16bd327c("workqueue: implement NUMA affinity for unbound workqueues"), this is no longer true due to per-node worker pools. While the right way to create an ordered workqueue is alloc_ordered_workqueue(), the documentation has been misleading for a long time and people do use WQ_UNBOUND and max_active == 1 for ordered workqueues which can lead to subtle bugs which are very difficult to trigger. It's unlikely that we'd see noticeable performance impact by enforcing ordering on WQ_UNBOUND / max_active == 1 workqueues. Let's automatically set __WQ_ORDERED for those workqueues.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
