That's exactly what I'm saying.

And "schedule_delayed_work()" uses WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.

YOUR code assumes that means "local CPU".

And I say that's bogus.

In this email you seem to even agree that its' bogus, but then you
wrote another email saying that the code isn't confused, because it
uses "schedule_delayed_work()" on the CPU that it wants to run the
code on.

I'm saying that mm/vmstat.c should use "schedule_delayed_work_on()".
