From a5bde5d8fde8a8cb28e59a672d5ddc5b9c1e7656 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Breno Leitao Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2026 07:52:36 -0700 Subject: workqueue: skip the node_nr_active update for non-unbound workqueues 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.

To review previous messages, press the Insert key to switch to the VT +review mode. In review mode, the arrow keys permit to browse in the VT content, +`PAGE-UP`/`PAGE-DOWN` keys go at the top/bottom of the screen, and +the `HOME` key goes back +to the cursor, hence providing very basic screen reviewing facility. + +Sound feedback can be obtained by adding the ``braille_console.sound=1`` kernel +parameter. + +For simplicity, only one braille console can be enabled, other uses of +``console=brl,...`` will be discarded. Also note that it does not interfere with +the console selection mechanism described in +:ref:`Documentation/admin-guide/serial-console.rst `. + +For now, only the VisioBraille device is supported. + +Samuel Thibault -- cgit v1.3.1
