The current queue_work_on() docbook comment says that the caller must ensure that the specified CPU can't go away, and further says that the penalty for failing to nail down the specified CPU is that the workqueue handler might find itself executing on some other CPU. This is true as far as it goes, but fails to note what happens if the specified CPU never was online. Therefore, further expand this comment to say that specifying a CPU that was never online will result in a splat. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
