Vlastimil Babka 20eaa393fc mm, slab: reschedule cache_reap() on the same CPU 
commit a9f2a846f0 upstream.

cache_reap() is initially scheduled in start_cpu_timer() via
schedule_delayed_work_on(). But then the next iterations are scheduled
via schedule_delayed_work(), i.e. using WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.

Thus since commit ef55718044 ("workqueue: schedule WORK_CPU_UNBOUND
work on wq_unbound_cpumask CPUs") there is no guarantee the future
iterations will run on the originally intended cpu, although it's still
preferred.  I was able to demonstrate this with
/sys/module/workqueue/parameters/debug_force_rr_cpu.  IIUC, it may also
happen due to migrating timers in nohz context.  As a result, some cpu's
would be calling cache_reap() more frequently and others never.

This patch uses schedule_delayed_work_on() with the current cpu when
scheduling the next iteration.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
