Merge branch 'for-4.13-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq
Pull workqueue fixes from Tejun Heo: "Two notable fixes. - While adding NUMA affinity support to unbound workqueues, the assumption that an unbound workqueue with max_active == 1 is ordered was broken. The plan was to use explicit alloc_ordered_workqueue() for those cases. Unfortunately, I forgot to update the documentation properly and we grew a handful of use cases which depend on that assumption. While we want to convert them to alloc_ordered_workqueue(), we don't really lose anything by enforcing ordered execution on unbound max_active == 1 workqueues and it doesn't make sense to risk subtle bugs. Restore the assumption. - Workqueue assumes that CPU <-> NUMA node mapping remains static. This is a general assumption - we don't have any synchronization mechanism around CPU <-> node mapping. Unfortunately, powerpc may change the mapping dynamically leading to crashes. Michael added a workaround so that we at least don't crash while powerpc hotplug code gets updated" * 'for-4.13-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: workqueue: Work around edge cases for calc of pool's cpumask workqueue: implicit ordered attribute should be overridable workqueue: restore WQ_UNBOUND/max_active==1 to be ordered
