Question on io-wq

[Zhang, Qiang]

Hi Jens Axboe

There are some problem in 'io_wqe_worker' thread, when the 
'io_wqe_worker' be create and  Setting the affinity of CPUs in NUMA 
nodes, due to CPU hotplug, When the last CPU going down, the 
'io_wqe_worker' thread will run anywhere. when the CPU in the node goes 
online again, we should restore their cpu bindings?

Thanks
Qiang

Test it yourself:

- Boot with > 1 NUMA node
- Start an io_uring, you now get 2 workers, each affinitized to a node
- Now offline all CPUs in one node
- Online one or more of the CPU in that same node

The end result is that the worker on the node that was offlined now
has a mask of the other node, plus the newly added CPU.

So your last statement isn't correct, which is what the original
reporter stated.

Something like the below should help in ensuring affinities are
always correct - trigger an affinity set for an online CPU event. We
should not need to do it for offlining. Can you test it?
