[PATCH 15/40] workqueue: kill cpu_populated_map

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Sun Jan 17 2010 - 19:54:49 EST


Worker management is about to be overhauled. Simplify things by
removing cpu_populated_map, creating workers for all possible cpus and
making single threaded workqueues behave more like multi threaded
ones.

After this patch, all cwqs are always initialized, all workqueues are
linked on the workqueues list and workers for all possibles cpus
always exist. This also makes CPU hotplug support simpler - rebinding
workers on CPU_ONLINE and flushing on CPU_POST_DEAD are enough.

While at it, make get_cwq() always return the cwq for the specified
cpu, add target_cwq() for cases where single thread distinction is
necessary and drop all direct usage of per_cpu_ptr() on wq->cpu_wq.
