workqueue: Fixes for v6.9-rc6
Two doc update patches and the following three fixes:
- On single node systems, the default pool is used but the node_nr_active
for the default pool was set to min_active. This effectively limited the
max concurrency of unbound pools on single node systems to 8 causing
performance regressions on some workloads. Fixed by setting the default
pool's node_nr_active to max_active.
- wq_update_node_max_active() could trigger divide-by-zero if the
intersection between the allowed CPUs for an unbound workqueue and online
CPUs becomes empty.
- When kick_pool() was trying to repatriate a worker to a CPU in its pod by
setting task->wake_cpu, it didn't consider whether the CPU being selected
is online or not which obviously can lead to subobtimal behaviors. On
s390, this triggered a crash in arch code. The workqueue patch removes the
gross misbehavior but doesn't fix the crash completely as there's a race
window in which CPUs can go down after wake_cpu is set. Need to decide
whether the fix should be on the core or arch side.

After analysis, it happens when all of the CPUs in a workqueue's affinity
get offine.
The problem can be easily reproduced by:
# echo 8 > /sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/<any-wq-name>/cpumask
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/online
Use the default max_actives for nodes when all of the CPUs in the
workqueue's affinity get offline to fix the problem.
