Subject: [PATCH] workqueue: don't use wq_select_unbound_cpu() for bound works
Date: Fri, 24 Jan 2020 20:14:45 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200125011445.983252-1-daniel.m.jordan@oracle.com> (raw)

From: Hillf Danton <hdanton@sina.com>

wq_select_unbound_cpu() is designed for unbound workqueues only, but
it's wrongly called when using a bound workqueue too.

Fixing this ensures work queued to a bound workqueue with
cpu=WORK_CPU_UNBOUND always runs on the local CPU.

Before, that would happen only if wq_unbound_cpumask happened to include
it (likely almost always the case), or was empty, or we got lucky with
forced round-robin placement.  So restricting
/sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/cpumask to a small subset of a machine's
CPUs would cause some bound work items to run unexpectedly there.

Fixes: ef557180447f ("workqueue: schedule WORK_CPU_UNBOUND work on wq_unbound_cpumask CPUs")
