create_worker() will already set the right affinity using
kthread_bind_mask(), this means only the rescuer will need to change
it's affinity.
Howveer, while in cpu-hot-unplug a regular task is not allowed to run
on online&&!active as it would be pushed away quite agressively. We
need KTHREAD_IS_PER_CPU to survive in that environment.
Therefore set the affinity after getting that magic flag.

The scheduler won't break affinity for us any more, and we should
"emulate" the same behavior when the scheduler breaks affinity for
us. The behavior is "changing the cpumask to cpu_possible_mask".
And there might be some other CPUs online later while the worker is
still running with the pending work items. The worker should be allowed
to use the later online CPUs as before and process the work items ASAP.
If we use cpu_active_mask here, we can't achieve this goal but
using cpu_possible_mask can.

In realtime scenario, We do not want to have interference on the
isolated cpu cores. but when invoking alloc_workqueue() for percpu wq
on the housekeeping cpu, it kick a kworker on the isolated cpu.
alloc_workqueue
pwq_adjust_max_active
wake_up_worker
The comment in pwq_adjust_max_active() said:
"Need to kick a worker after thawed or an unbound wq's
max_active is bumped"
So it is unnecessary to kick a kworker for percpu's wq when invoking
alloc_workqueue(). this patch only kick a worker based on the actual
activation of delayed works.

008847f66c ("workqueue: allow rescuer thread to do more work.") made
the rescuer worker requeue the pwq immediately if there may be more
work items which need rescuing instead of waiting for the next mayday
timer expiration. Unfortunately, it checks only whether the pool needs
help from rescuers, but it doesn't check whether the pwq has work items
in the pool (the real reason that this rescuer can help for the pool).
The patch adds the check and void unneeded requeuing.

The workqueue code has it's internal spinlocks (pool::lock), which
are acquired on most workqueue operations. These spinlocks are
converted to 'sleeping' spinlocks on a RT-kernel.
Workqueue functions can be invoked from contexts which are truly atomic
even on a PREEMPT_RT enabled kernel. Taking sleeping locks from such
contexts is forbidden.
The pool::lock hold times are bound and the code sections are
relatively short, which allows to convert pool::lock and as a
consequence wq_mayday_lock to raw spinlocks which are truly spinning
locks even on a PREEMPT_RT kernel.
With the previous conversion of the manager waitqueue to a simple
waitqueue workqueues are now fully RT compliant.

The workqueue code has it's internal spinlock (pool::lock) and also
implicit spinlock usage in the wq_manager waitqueue. These spinlocks
are converted to 'sleeping' spinlocks on a RT-kernel.
Workqueue functions can be invoked from contexts which are truly atomic
even on a PREEMPT_RT enabled kernel. Taking sleeping locks from such
contexts is forbidden.
pool::lock can be converted to a raw spinlock as the lock held times
are short. But the workqueue manager waitqueue is handled inside of
pool::lock held regions which again violates the lock nesting rules
of raw and regular spinlocks.
The manager waitqueue has no special requirements like custom wakeup
callbacks or mass wakeups. While it does not use exclusive wait mode
explicitly there is no strict requirement to queue the waiters in a
particular order as there is only one waiter at a time.
This allows to replace the waitqueue with rcuwait which solves the
locking problem because rcuwait relies on existing locking.

The data structure member "wq->rescuer" was reset to a null pointer
in one if branch. It was passed to a call of the function "kfree"
in the callback function "rcu_free_wq" (which was eventually executed).
The function "kfree" does not perform more meaningful data processing
for a passed null pointer (besides immediately returning from such a call).
Thus delete this function call which became unnecessary with the referenced
software update.

The kernel test robot triggered a warning with the following race:
task-ctx A interrupt-ctx B
worker
-> process_one_work()
-> work_item()
-> schedule();
-> sched_submit_work()
-> wq_worker_sleeping()
-> ->sleeping = 1
atomic_dec_and_test(nr_running)
__schedule(); *interrupt*
async_page_fault()
-> local_irq_enable();
-> schedule();
-> sched_submit_work()
-> wq_worker_sleeping()
-> if (WARN_ON(->sleeping)) return
-> __schedule()
-> sched_update_worker()
-> wq_worker_running()
-> atomic_inc(nr_running);
-> ->sleeping = 0;
-> sched_update_worker()
-> wq_worker_running()
if (!->sleeping) return
In this context the warning is pointless everything is fine.
An interrupt before wq_worker_sleeping() will perform the ->sleeping
assignment (0 -> 1 > 0) twice.
An interrupt after wq_worker_sleeping() will trigger the warning and
nr_running will be decremented (by A) and incremented once (only by B, A
will skip it). This is the case until the ->sleeping is zeroed again in
wq_worker_running().
Remove the WARN statement because this condition may happen. Document
that preemption around wq_worker_sleeping() needs to be disabled to
protect ->sleeping and not just as an optimisation.

wq_select_unbound_cpu() is designed for unbound workqueues only, but
it's wrongly called when using a bound workqueue too.
Fixing this ensures work queued to a bound workqueue with
cpu=WORK_CPU_UNBOUND always runs on the local CPU.
Before, that would happen only if wq_unbound_cpumask happened to include
it (likely almost always the case), or was empty, or we got lucky with
forced round-robin placement. So restricting
/sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/cpumask to a small subset of a machine's
CPUs would cause some bound work items to run unexpectedly there.
