    workqueues: shrink cpu_populated_map when CPU dies · 00dfcaf7
    Oleg Nesterov 提交于
    When cpu_populated_map was introduced, it was supposed that cwq->thread can
    survive after CPU_DEAD, that is why we never shrink cpu_populated_map.
    
    This is not very nice, we can safely remove the already dead CPU from the map.
     The only required change is that destroy_workqueue() must hold the hotplug
    lock until it destroys all cwq->thread's, to protect the cpu_populated_map.
    We could make the local copy of cpu mask and drop the lock, but
    sizeof(cpumask_t) may be very large.
    
    Also, fix the comment near queue_work().  Unless _cpu_down() happens we do
    guarantee the cpu-affinity of the work_struct, and we have users which rely on
    this.
