#1416304 — [PATCH 0/2] Fix CPU Online handling for unbounded worker threads

Hi,

This patchset fixes a couple of issues in the CPU_ONLINE notification
handling for the workqueues with respect to unbounded worker threads.

Patch 1 ensures that the affinity of a unbound worker thread
associated with a node whose very first CPU has come online is set
correctly. In the existing code path we will never call
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() for unbound worker threads that have been
created on a CPU Online operation after boot.

Patch 2 fixes the following WARN_ON() reported by Abdul when
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() for an unbound worker thread is invoked when
only one of the CPUs in its cpumask is online but not yet active.

The patches are based on 4.7-rc2. I have tested the patches on a
multi-node x86_64 and a ppc64

Any thoughts on these patches ? They fix a race which
was causing WARN_ON() to be consistently reproduced on POWER machines
since 4.6.

Could you please review these patches ?
