[PATCH 1/2] workqueue: update numa affinity info at node hotplug

From: Kamezawa Hiroyuki
Date: Tue Dec 16 2014 - 11:46:09 EST


With node online/offline, cpu<->node relationship is established.
Workqueue uses a info which was established at boot time but
it may be changed by node hotpluging.

Once pool->node points to a stale node, following allocation failure
happens.
==
SLUB: Unable to allocate memory on node 2 (gfp=0x80d0)
cache: kmalloc-192, object size: 192, buffer size: 192, default
order:
1, min order: 0
node 0: slabs: 6172, objs: 259224, free: 245741
node 1: slabs: 3261, objs: 136962, free: 127656
==
This patch updates per cpu workqueue pool's node affinity and
updates wq_numa_possible_cpumask at node online/offline event.
This update of mask is very important because it affects cpumasks
and preferred node detection.

Unbound workqueue's per node pool are updated by
by wq_update_unbound_numa() at CPU_DOWN_PREPARE of the last cpu, by existing code.
What important here is to avoid wrong node detection when a cpu get onlined.
And it's handled by wq_numa_possible_cpumask update introduced by this patch.

Changelog v3->v4:
- added workqueue_node_unregister
- clear wq_numa_possible_cpumask at node offline.
- merged a patch which handles per cpu pools.
- clear per-cpu-pool's pool->node at node offlining.
- set per-cpu-pool's pool->node at node onlining.
- dropped modification to get_unbound_pool()
- dropped per-cpu-pool handling at cpu online/offline.
