commit 4a6c5607d4502ccd1b15b57d57f17d12b6f257a7 upstream. During boot, depending on how the housekeeping and workqueue.unbound_cpus masks are set, wq_unbound_cpumask can end up empty. Since 8639ecebc9b1 ("workqueue: Implement non-strict affinity scope for unbound workqueues"), this may end up feeding -1 as a CPU number into scheduler leading to oopses. BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffff8305e9c0 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page ... Call Trace: <TASK> select_idle_sibling+0x79/0xaf0 select_task_rq_fair+0x1cb/0x7b0 try_to_wake_up+0x29c/0x5c0 wake_up_process+0x19/0x20 kick_pool+0x5e/0xb0 __queue_work+0x119/0x430 queue_work_on+0x29/0x30 ... An empty wq_unbound_cpumask is a clear misconfiguration and already disallowed once system is booted up. Let's warn on and ignore unbound_cpumask restrictions which lead to no unbound cpus. While at it, also remove now unncessary empty check on wq_unbound_cpumask in wq_select_unbound_cpu().

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.
