workqueue: skip the node_nr_active update for non-unbound workqueuesgrafted
apply_wqattrs_commit() updates node_nr_active->max unconditionally.
wq->node_nr_active[] is only allocated for unbound workqueues, so guard
the call before per-cpu workqueues start using this path.
No functional change: only unbound workqueues reach apply_wqattrs_*()
today.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only + +========================== +Bash completion for Kbuild +========================== + +The kernel build system is written using Makefiles, and Bash completion +for the `make` command is available through the `bash-completion`_ project. + +However, the Makefiles for the kernel build are complex. The generic completion +rules for the `make` command do not provide meaningful suggestions for the +kernel build system, except for the options of the `make` command itself. + +To enhance completion for various variables and targets, the kernel source +includes its own completion script at `scripts/bash-completion/make`. + +This script provides additional completions when working within the kernel tree. +Outside the kernel tree, it defaults to the generic completion rules for the +`make` command. + +Prerequisites +============= + +The script relies on helper functions provided by `bash-completion`_ project. +Please ensure it is installed on your system. On most distributions, you can +install the `bash-completion` package through the standard package manager. + +How to use +========== + +You can source the script directly:: + + $ source scripts/bash-completion/make + +Or, you can copy it into the search path for Bash completion scripts. +For example:: + + $ mkdir -p ~/.local/share/bash-completion/completions + $ cp scripts/bash-completion/make ~/.local/share/bash-completion/completions/ + +Details +======= + +The additional completion for Kbuild is enabled in the following cases: + + - You are in the root directory of the kernel source. + - You are in the top-level build directory created by the O= option + (checked via the `source` symlink pointing to the kernel source). + - The -C make option specifies the kernel source or build directory. + - The -f make option specifies a file in the kernel source or build directory. + +If none of the above are met, it falls back to the generic completion rules. + +The completion supports: + + - Commonly used targets, such as `all`, `menuconfig`, `dtbs`, etc. + - Make (or environment) variables, such as `ARCH`, `LLVM`, etc. + - Single-target builds (`foo/bar/baz.o`) + - Configuration files (`*_defconfig` and `*.config`) + +Some variables offer intelligent behavior. For instance, `CROSS_COMPILE=` +followed by a TAB displays installed toolchains. The list of defconfig files +shown depends on the value of the `ARCH=` variable. + +.. _bash-completion: https://github.com/scop/bash-completion/ |
