Linus Torvalds bd30fe6a7d workqueue: Changes for v6.6
* Unbound workqueues now support more flexible affinity scopes. The default
   behavior is to soft-affine according to last level cache boundaries. A
   work item queued from a given LLC is executed by a worker running on the
   same LLC but the worker may be moved across cache boundaries as the
   scheduler sees fit. On machines which multiple L3 caches, which are
   becoming more popular along with chiplet designs, this improves cache
   locality while not harming work conservation too much.
 
   Unbound workqueues are now also a lot more flexible in terms of execution
   affinity. Differeing levels of affinity scopes are supported and both the
   default and per-workqueue affinity settings can be modified dynamically.
   This should help working around amny of sub-optimal behaviors observed
   recently with asymmetric ARM CPUs.
 
   This involved signficant restructuring of workqueue code. Nothing was
   reported yet but there's some risk of subtle regressions. Should keep an
   eye out.
 
 * Rescuer workers now has more identifiable comms.
 
 * workqueue.unbound_cpus added so that CPUs which can be used by workqueue
   can be constrained early during boot.
 
 * Now that all the in-tree users have been flushed out, trigger warning if
   system-wide workqueues are flushed.
 
 * One pull commit from for-6.5-fixes to avoid cascading conflicts in the
   affinity scope patchset.

 - Unbound workqueues now support more flexible affinity scopes.

   The default behavior is to soft-affine according to last level cache
   boundaries. A work item queued from a given LLC is executed by a
   worker running on the same LLC but the worker may be moved across
   cache boundaries as the scheduler sees fit. On machines which
   multiple L3 caches, which are becoming more popular along with
   chiplet designs, this improves cache locality while not harming work
   conservation too much.

   Unbound workqueues are now also a lot more flexible in terms of
   execution affinity. Differeing levels of affinity scopes are
   supported and both the default and per-workqueue affinity settings
   can be modified dynamically. This should help working around amny of
   sub-optimal behaviors observed recently with asymmetric ARM CPUs.

   This involved signficant restructuring of workqueue code. Nothing was
   reported yet but there's some risk of subtle regressions. Should keep
   an eye out.

 - Rescuer workers now has more identifiable comms.

 - workqueue.unbound_cpus added so that CPUs which can be used by
   workqueue can be constrained early during boot.

 - Now that all the in-tree users have been flushed out, trigger warning
   if system-wide workqueues are flushed.
