Subject: [GIT PULL] workqueue / powernow-k8 fix for v3.6-rc6
Hello, Linus.
This is the fix for the bug where cpufreq/powernow-k8 was tripping
BUG_ON() in try_to_wake_up_local() by migrating workqueue worker to a
different CPU.
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47301
As discussed, the fix is now two parts - one to reimplement
work_on_cpu() so that it doesn't create a new kthread each time and
the actual fix which makes powernow-k8 use work_on_cpu() instead of
performing manual migration.
While pretty late in the merge cycle, both changes are on the safer
side. Jiri and I verified two existing users of work_on_cpu() and
Duncan confirmed that the powernow-k8 fix survived about 18 hours of
testing.
Please consider pulling from the following branch to receive the fix.
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq.git for-3.6-fixes
Thanks.

workqueue: reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq
cpufreq/powernow-k8: workqueue user shouldn't migrate the kworker to another CPU
