3.13.11-ckt30 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Shaohua Li <shli@xxxxxx> commit 874bbfe600a660cba9c776b3957b1ce393151b76 upstream. My system keeps crashing with below message. vmstat_update() schedules a delayed work in current cpu and expects the work runs in the cpu. schedule_delayed_work() is expected to make delayed work run in local cpu. The problem is timer can be migrated with NO_HZ. __queue_work() queues work in timer handler, which could run in a different cpu other than where the delayed work is scheduled. The end result is the delayed work runs in different cpu. The patch makes __queue_delayed_work records local cpu earlier. Where the timer runs doesn't change where the work runs with the change.
