Merge branch 'for-3.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of activities on workqueue side this time.  The changes achieve
  the followings.

   - WQ_UNBOUND workqueues - the workqueues which are per-cpu - are
     updated to be able to interface with multiple backend worker pools.
     This involved a lot of churning but the end result seems actually
     neater as unbound workqueues are now a lot closer to per-cpu ones.

   - The ability to interface with multiple backend worker pools are
     used to implement unbound workqueues with custom attributes.
     Currently the supported attributes are the nice level and CPU
     affinity.  It may be expanded to include cgroup association in
     future.  The attributes can be specified either by calling
     apply_workqueue_attrs() or through /sys/bus/workqueue/WQ_NAME/* if
     the workqueue in question is exported through sysfs.

     The backend worker pools are keyed by the actual attributes and
     shared by any workqueues which share the same attributes.  When
     attributes of a workqueue are changed, the workqueue binds to the
     worker pool with the specified attributes while leaving the work
     items which are already executing in its previous worker pools
     alone.

     This allows converting custom worker pool implementations which
     want worker attribute tuning to use workqueues.  The writeback pool
     is already converted in block tree and there are a couple others
     are likely to follow including btrfs io workers.

   - WQ_UNBOUND's ability to bind to multiple worker pools is also used
     to make it NUMA-aware.  Because there's no association between work
     item issuer and the specific worker assigned to execute it, before
     this change, using unbound workqueue led to unnecessary cross-node
     bouncing and it couldn't be helped by autonuma as it requires tasks
     to have implicit node affinity and workers are assigned randomly.

     After these changes, an unbound workqueue now binds to multiple
     NUMA-affine worker pools so that queued work items are executed in
     the same node.  This is turned on by default but can be disabled
     system-wide or for individual workqueues.

     Crypto was requesting NUMA affinity as encrypting data across
     different nodes can contribute noticeable overhead and doing it
     per-cpu was too limiting for certain cases and IO throughput could
     be bottlenecked by one CPU being fully occupied while others have
     idle cycles.

  While the new features required a lot of changes including
  restructuring locking, it didn't complicate the execution paths much.
  The unbound workqueue handling is now closer to per-cpu ones and the
  new features are implemented by simply associating a workqueue with
  different sets of backend worker pools without changing queue,
  execution or flush paths.

  As such, even though the amount of change is very high, I feel
  relatively safe in that it isn't likely to cause subtle issues with
  basic correctness of work item execution and handling.  If something
  is wrong, it's likely to show up as being associated with worker pools
  with the wrong attributes or OOPS while workqueue attributes are being
  changed or during CPU hotplug.

  While this creates more backend worker pools, it doesn't add too many
  more workers unless, of course, there are many workqueues with unique
  combinations of attributes.  Assuming everything else is the same,
  NUMA awareness costs an extra worker pool per NUMA node with online
  CPUs.

  There are also a couple things which are being routed outside the
  workqueue tree.

   - block tree pulled in workqueue for-3.10 so that writeback worker
     pool can be converted to unbound workqueue with sysfs control
     exposed.  This simplifies the code, makes writeback workers
     NUMA-aware and allows tuning nice level and CPU affinity via sysfs.

   - The conversion to workqueue means that there's no 1:1 association
     between a specific worker, which makes writeback folks unhappy as
     they want to be able to tell which filesystem caused a problem from
     backtrace on systems with many filesystems mounted.  This is
     resolved by allowing work items to set debug info string which is
     printed when the task is dumped.  As this change involves unifying
     implementations of dump_stack() and friends in arch codes, it's
     being routed through Andrew's -mm tree."
