mainlining shenanigans
dc909d8b0c
Currently the kernel detects if its running on a shared lpar platform and requests home node associativity before the scheduler sched_domains are setup. However between the time NUMA setup is initialized and the request for home node associativity, workqueue initializes its per node cpumask. The per node workqueue possible cpumask may turn invalid after home node associativity resulting in weird situations like workqueue possible cpumask being a subset of workqueue online cpumask. This can be fixed by requesting home node associativity earlier just before NUMA setup. However at the NUMA setup time, kernel may not be in a position to detect if its running on a shared lpar platform. So request for home node associativity and if the request fails, fallback on the device tree property.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
