From beda94da38d2a3bf7f40c01f0a8e6d86067c91cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Torokhov Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2011 16:08:56 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Vmware balloon: switch to using sysem-wide freezable workqueue With the arrival of concurrency-managed workqueues there is no need for our driver to use dedicated workqueue; system-wide one should suffice just fine.
