The patch titled workqueues: shrink cpu_populated_map when CPU dies has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was workqueues-shrink-cpu_populated_map-when-cpu-dies.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: workqueues: shrink cpu_populated_map when CPU dies From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> When cpu_populated_map was introduced, it was supposed that cwq->thread can survive after CPU_DEAD, that is why we never shrink cpu_populated_map. This is not very nice, we can safely remove the already dead CPU from the map. The only required change is that destroy_workqueue() must hold the hotplug lock until it destroys all cwq->thread's, to protect the cpu_populated_map. We could make the local copy of cpu mask and drop the lock, but sizeof(cpumask_t) may be very large. Also, fix the comment near queue_work(). Unless _cpu_down() happens we do guarantee the cpu-affinity of the work_struct, and we have users which rely on this.
