cpumask is the list of CPUs present when the queue is built. If a new CPU is hotplugged, this list is not updated, and when the scheduler asks for a CPU id, blk_mq_hctx_next_cpu() can return WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. And in this case _blk_mq_run_hw_queue() can be executed by the new CPU (that is not present in cpumask) and raises the following warning: WARN_ON(!cpumask_test_cpu(raw_smp_processor_id(), hctx->cpumask) && cpu_online(hctx->next_cpu)); To fix this problem, this patch modifies blk_mq_hctx_next_cpu() to only return a CPU id present in cpumask.
