Pull workqueue fixes from Tejun Heo:
"Two notable fixes.
- While adding NUMA affinity support to unbound workqueues, the
assumption that an unbound workqueue with max_active == 1 is
ordered was broken.
The plan was to use explicit alloc_ordered_workqueue() for those
cases. Unfortunately, I forgot to update the documentation properly
and we grew a handful of use cases which depend on that assumption.
While we want to convert them to alloc_ordered_workqueue(), we
don't really lose anything by enforcing ordered execution on
unbound max_active == 1 workqueues and it doesn't make sense to
risk subtle bugs. Restore the assumption.
- Workqueue assumes that CPU <-> NUMA node mapping remains static.
This is a general assumption - we don't have any synchronization
mechanism around CPU <-> node mapping. Unfortunately, powerpc may
change the mapping dynamically leading to crashes. Michael added a
workaround so that we at least don't crash while powerpc hotplug
code gets updated"
* 'for-4.13-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq:
workqueue: Work around edge cases for calc of pool's cpumask
workqueue: implicit ordered attribute should be overridable
workqueue: restore WQ_UNBOUND/max_active==1 to be ordered
