Subject: [GIT PULL] workqueue fixes for v3.13-rc1
Hello, Linus.
This pull request contains one important fix. The NUMA supported
added a while back broke ordering guarantee on ordered workqueues. It
was enforced by having single frontend interface with @max_active == 1
but the NUMA support puts multiple interfaces on unbound workqueues on
NUMA machines thus breaking the ordered guarantee. This is fixed by
disabling NUMA support on ordered workqueues.
The above and a couple other patches were sitting in for-3.12-fixes
but I forgot to push that out, so they ended up waiting a bit too
long. My aplogies.
Other fixes are minor.
The patches are available in the git repository at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq.git for-3.13-fixes
