Thank you, I misuderstood that.

Okay, I talked with Ishimatu-san and get some more knowledege.

let me clarify. not at cpu hotplug,

(A) At physical cpu hot add, cpu <-> node relationship is established.
(B) If an exisitng cpu was on a memory less node, cpu<->node relationship may change
     at CPU_ONLINE.

Because (2) will not change topology of cpuids, this doesn't affect cpumask for sched.
So, we just need to handle following.

1. update pc->node if necessary.
2. update wq_numa_possible_mask[] at physical cpu hot-add.

Leave wq_numa_possible_mask as it is for case (B) because the change doesn't affect
the affinity group of cpus. no affects to cpumask.

I'll cook a patch and do a test.

Thanks,
-Kame
