Hi!
When a CPU went online or offline, wq_update_unbound_numa() was called only on the CPU which was going up or down. This works fine because all CPUs on the same NUMA node share the same pool_workqueue slot - one CPU updating it updates it for everyone in the node.
However, future changes will make each CPU use a separate pool_workqueue even when they're sharing the same worker_pool, which requires updating pool_workqueue's for all CPUs which may be sharing the same pool_workqueue on hotplug.
Yes, but we are not porting those future changes to stable, right? Please drop.
BR, Pavel
