SubjectRe: [PATCHSET v1 wq/for-6.5] workqueue: Improve unbound workqueue execution locality
Hello,

The patchset shows minor perf improvements for some but more importantly
gives users more control over worker placement which helps working around
some of the recently reported performance regressions. Prateek reported
concerning regressions with tbench but I couldn't reproduce it and can't see
how tbench would be affected at all given the benchmark doesn't involve
workqueue operations in any noticeable way.

Assuming that the tbench difference was a testing artifact, I'm applying the
patchset to wq/for-6.6 so that it can receive wider testing. Prateek, I'd
really appreciate if you could repeat the test and see whether the
difference persists.

Thanks.
