The percpu workqueue pool are persistend and never be freed. But cpu<->node relationship can be changed by cpu hotplug and pool->node can point to an offlined node.
If pool->node points to an offlined node, following allocation failure can happen. == SLUB: Unable to allocate memory on node 2 (gfp=0x80d0) cache: kmalloc-192, object size: 192, buffer size: 192, default order: 1, min order: 0 node 0: slabs: 6172, objs: 259224, free: 245741 node 1: slabs: 3261, objs: 136962, free: 127656 == This patch clears per-cpu workqueue pool's node affinity at cpu offlining and restore it at cpu onlining.
