We assign cpu id into work struct's data field in __queue_delayed_work_on(). In current implementation, when work is come in first time, current running cpu id is assigned. If we do __queue_delayed_work_on() with CPU A on CPU B, __queue_work() invoked in delayed_work_timer_fn() go into the following sub-optimal path in case of WQ_NON_REENTRANT.
gcwq = get_gcwq(cpu); if (wq->flags & WQ_NON_REENTRANT && (last_gcwq = get_work_gcwq(work)) && last_gcwq != gcwq) { Change lcpu to @cpu and rechange lcpu to local cpu if lcpu is WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. It is sufficient to prevent to go into sub-optimal path.
