Subject: [PATCH] mm/vmscan.c: only adjust related kswapd cpu affinity when online cpu

When onlining a cpu, kswapd_cpu_online() is called to adjust kswapd cpu
affinity.

Current routine does like this:

* Iterate all the numa node
* Adjust cpu affinity when node has an online cpu

Actually we could improve this by:

* Just adjust the numa node to which current online cpu belongs

Because we know which numa node the cpu belongs to and this cpu would
not affect other node.

Is there ever a situation where the cpu to be onlined would have appeared
in the cpumask of another node and so a different kswapd's cpumask would
now include an off-node cpu?

No, I don't think so.

Per my understanding, kswapd_cpu_online() will be invoked when a cpu is
onlined. And the particular cpu belongs to a particular numa node. So it is
not necessary to iterate on every nodes.

And current code use cpumask_and_any() to do the check. If my understanding is
correct, the check would return true if this node has any online cpu. This is
likely to be true.

This is why I want to make the logic clear.

Please resend with a changelog which explains the above?
