Linus Torvalds b02c520fee workqueue: Changes for v6.11
- 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.

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 reStructuredText 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.
