Hello, Linus. This is the fix for the bug where cpufreq/powernow-k8 was tripping BUG_ON() in try_to_wake_up_local() by migrating workqueue worker to a different CPU.
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47301 As discussed, the fix is now two parts - one to reimplement work_on_cpu() so that it doesn't create a new kthread each time and the actual fix which makes powernow-k8 use work_on_cpu() instead of performing manual migration. While pretty late in the merge cycle, both changes are on the safer side. Jiri and I verified two existing users of work_on_cpu() and Duncan confirmed that the powernow-k8 fix survived about 18 hours of testing. Please consider pulling from the following branch to receive the fix. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq.git for-3.6-fixes Thanks.
