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.

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.

Again, You need to check and update all the wq->numa_pwq_tbl[oldnode],
but in this patchset, the required information is lost and we can't find out oldnode.


cpus of oldnode, 16-31(online),48,56,64,72(offline,randomly assigned to the oldnode by numa_init_array())

and then cpu#48 is allocated for newnode and online

Now, the wq->numa_pwq_tbl[oldnode]'s cpumask still have cpu#48, and it may be scheduled to cpu#48.
See the information of my patch 4/5


That will not cause page allocation failure, right ? If so, it's out of scope of this patch 1/2.

I think it's handled in patch 2/2, isn't it ?

Let me correct my words. Main purpose of this patch 1/2 is handling a case "node disappers" after boot.
And try to handle physicall node hotplug caes.

Changes of cpu<->node relationship at CPU_ONLINE is handled in patch 2/2.

Thanks,
