kswapd kernel thread starts either with a CPU affinity set to the full cpu mask of its target node or without any affinity at all if the node is CPUless. There is a cpu hotplug callback (kswapd_cpu_online) that implements an elaborate way to update this mask when a cpu is onlined. It is not really clear whether there is any actual benefit from this scheme. Completely CPU-less NUMA nodes rarely gain a new CPU during runtime. Drop the code for that reason. If there is a real usecase then we can resurrect and simplify the code.

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.
