recommended.
Some users depend on the strict execution ordering of ST wq. The
combination of ``@max_active`` of 1 and ``WQ_UNBOUND`` is used to
achieve this behavior. Work items on such wq are always queued to the
unbound worker-pools and only one work item can be active at any given
combination of ``@max_active`` of 1 and ``WQ_UNBOUND`` used to
achieve this behavior. Work items on such wq were always queued to the
unbound worker-pools and only one work item could be active at any given
time thus achieving the same ordering property as ST wq.
In the current implementation the above configuration only guarantees
ST behavior within a given NUMA node. Instead alloc_ordered_queue should
be used to achieve system wide ST behavior.
