On larger machines (e.g. 316 CPUs, 2 NUMA nodes), the "Unbound
workqueue -> node_nr/max_active" section of wq_dump.py has column
alignment issues.
Values like max_active=2048 exceed the hardcoded minimum field width of 3,
causing the header and data rows to misalign.
This series cleans up the formatting:
1. Remove the backslash separator from the header
2. Widen format specifiers for 4-digit values and right-align
nr/max as a single string
3. Add "NODE" prefix to all node columns for clarity.
* Although the original code intentionally only labeled the first column,
the bare numbers for subsequent nodes create more confusion than they
help. Labeling all columns makes the output self-explanatory.
Before:
[ workqueue \ min max NODE 0 1 dfl ]
events_unbound 8 2048 0/2048 0/ 8 0/2048
netns 1 1 0/ 1 0/ 1 0/ 1
async 1024 1024 0/1024 0/1024 0/1024
cpuset_migrate_mm 1 1 0/ 1 0/ 1 0/ 1
After:
[ workqueue min max NODE 0 NODE 1 dfl ]
events_unbound 8 2048 0/2048 0/8 0/2048
netns 1 1 0/1 0/1 0/1
async 1024 1024 0/1024 0/1024 0/1024
cpuset_migrate_mm 1 1 0/1 0/1 0/1
