workqueue: update sysfs interface to reflect NUMA awareness and a kernel param to disable NUMA affinity
Unbound workqueues are now NUMA aware. Let's add some control knobs and update sysfs interface accordingly. * Add kernel param workqueue.numa_disable which disables NUMA affinity globally. * Replace sysfs file "pool_id" with "pool_ids" which contain node:pool_id pairs. This change is userland-visible but "pool_id" hasn't seen a release yet, so this is okay. * Add a new sysf files "numa" which can toggle NUMA affinity on individual workqueues. This is implemented as attrs->no_numa whichn is special in that it isn't part of a pool's attributes. It only affects how apply_workqueue_attrs() picks which pools to use. After "pool_ids" change, first_pwq() doesn't have any user left. Removed. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com>
