I've been able to reproduce the following warning using several kernel 
versions on the S390 platform, including the latest master: 3.14-rc1 
(38dbfb59d1175ef458d006556061adeaa8751b72).

[28718.212968] ---[ end trace 6d115577307998c2 ]---

The workload is:
2 processes onlining random cpus in a tight loop by using 'echo 1 > 
/sys/bus/cpu.../online'
2 processes offlining random cpus in a tight loop by using 'echo 0 > 
/sys/bus/cpu.../online'
Otherwise, fairly idle system. load average: 5.82, 6.27, 6.27

The machine has 10 processors.
The warning message some times hits within a few minutes on starting the 
workload. Other times it takes several hours.

The particular spot in the code is:
	/*
	 * Ensure we're on the correct CPU.  DISASSOCIATED test is
	 * necessary to avoid spurious warnings from rescuers servicing the
	 * unbound or a disassociated pool.
	 */
	WARN_ON_ONCE(!(worker->flags & WORKER_UNBOUND) &&
		     !(pool->flags & POOL_DISASSOCIATED) &&
		     raw_smp_processor_id() != pool->cpu);

I'm not familiar with scheduling or work queuing internals so I'm not 
sure how to further debug.
I would be happy to run tests and/or collect debugging data.
