Subject: [PATCH V2] workqueue: Ensure that cpumask set for pools created after boot
Date: Thu, 25 May 2017 09:55:10 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b0f0f9e1-cfae-5245-ff85-53846cd5dd5f@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)


On NUMA systems with dynamic processors, the content of the cpumask
may change over time.  As new processors are added via DLPAR operations,
workqueues are created for them.  This patch ensures that the pools
created for new workqueues will be initialized with a cpumask before
the first worker is created, attached, and woken up.  If the mask is
not set up, then the kernel will crash when 'wakeup_process' is unable
to find a valid CPU to which to assign the new worker.
