- Lai fixed a bug where CPU hotplug and workqueue attribute changes race
leaving some workqueues not fully updated. This involved refactoring and
changing how online CPUs are tracked. The resulting code is cleaner.
- Workqueue watchdog touch operation was causing too much cacheline
contention on very large machines. Nicholas improved scalabililty by
avoiding unnecessary global updates.
- Code cleanups and minor rescuer behavior improvement.
- The last commit 58629d4871 ("workqueue: Always queue work items to the
newest PWQ for order workqueues") is a cherry-picked straggler commit from
for-6.10-fixes, a fix for a bug which may not actually trigger.
Unfortunately, maybe because for-6.10-fixes was branched off at a
different point from for-6.11, I couldn't persuade git request-pull to
generate clean diffstat if pulled into for-6.11.
