Re: [PATCH v2] workqueue: Fix edge cases for calc of pool's cpumask

Hello, Michael.

It would have been better to continue debugging in the prev thread.
This still seems incorrect for the same reason as before.

Heh, you can't add sob's for other people.  For partial attributions,
you can just note in the description.

So, this is still wrong.

And this part doesn't really change that.

CPUs going offline or online shouldn't change their relation to
wq_numa_possible_cpumask.  I wonder whether the arch code is changing
CPU id <-> NUMA node mapping on CPU on/offlining.  x86 used to do that
too and got recently modified.  Can you see whether that's the case?

Thanks.
