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.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +======== +FAILOVER +======== + +Overview +======== + +The failover module provides a generic interface for paravirtual drivers +to register a netdev and a set of ops with a failover instance. The ops +are used as event handlers that get called to handle netdev register/ +unregister/link change/name change events on slave pci ethernet devices +with the same mac address as the failover netdev. + +This enables paravirtual drivers to use a VF as an accelerated low latency +datapath. It also allows live migration of VMs with direct attached VFs by +failing over to the paravirtual datapath when the VF is unplugged. -- cgit v1.3.1
