      vmstat: explicitly schedule per-cpu work on the CPU we need it to run on · 176bed1d
      Linus Torvalds authored
      The vmstat code uses "schedule_delayed_work_on()" to do the initial
      startup of the delayed work on the right CPU, but then once it was
      started it would use the non-cpu-specific "schedule_delayed_work()" to
      re-schedule it on that CPU.
      
      That just happened to schedule it on the same CPU historically (well, in
      almost all situations), but the code _requires_ this work to be per-cpu,
      and should say so explicitly rather than depend on the non-cpu-specific
      scheduling to schedule on the current CPU.
      
      The timer code is being changed to not be as single-minded in always
      running things on the calling CPU.
      
      See also commit 874bbfe6 ("workqueue: make sure delayed work run in
      local cpu") that for now maintains the local CPU guarantees just in case
      there are other broken users that depended on the accidental behavior.

      Pull workqueue fixlet from Tejun Heo:
       "Single patch to make delayed work always be queued on the local CPU"
      
      This is not actually something we should guarantee, but it's something
      we by accident have historically done, and at least one call site has
      grown to depend on it.
      
      I'm going to fix that known broken callsite, but in the meantime this
      makes the accidental behavior be explicit, just in case there are other
      cases that might depend on it.
