Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2] workqueue: jumps to use_dfl_pwq if the target
 cpumask is equal wq's

Hello,

A better wording would be sth like

 wq_update_unbound_numa(), when it's decided that the newly updated
 cpumask equals the default, looks at whether the current pwq is
 already the default one and skips setting pwq to the default one.
 This extra step is unnecessary and we can always jump to use_dfl_pwq
 instead.  Simplify the code by removing the conditional.  This
 doesn't make any functional difference.

As I said before, please update the comment above to match the new
code.

Thanks.
