Two doc update patches and the following three fixes:
- On single node systems, the default pool is used but the node_nr_active
for the default pool was set to min_active. This effectively limited the
max concurrency of unbound pools on single node systems to 8 causing
performance regressions on some workloads. Fixed by setting the default
pool's node_nr_active to max_active.
- wq_update_node_max_active() could trigger divide-by-zero if the
intersection between the allowed CPUs for an unbound workqueue and online
CPUs becomes empty.
- When kick_pool() was trying to repatriate a worker to a CPU in its pod by
setting task->wake_cpu, it didn't consider whether the CPU being selected
is online or not which obviously can lead to subobtimal behaviors. On
s390, this triggered a crash in arch code. The workqueue patch removes the
gross misbehavior but doesn't fix the crash completely as there's a race
window in which CPUs can go down after wake_cpu is set. Need to decide
whether the fix should be on the core or arch side.

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 reStructuredText 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.
