Thanks for looking into the detail of workqueue...
"REBOUND is set for kworker/0:0" means set_cpus_allowed_ptr(kworker/0:0)
already successfull returned and kworker/0:0 is already moved to cpu0.
It will not still run on cpu1 as the following steps you described.
If there is something wrong with " set_cpus_allowed_ptr()"
in this situation, could you please elaborate it.
