this is obviously wrong, and the worker is bound.

Umm... yeah, anything running on workqueues shouldn't be diddling with
cpu affinity. The function even has /* FIXME: use work_on_cpu() */ in
it. I suppose it's about time to actually implement that?

Thanks.


Hi Jiri:
Could you try this patch which reworks ACPI processor throttling with work_on_cpu()?
