[PATCH 1/4] workqueue: Create low-level unbound workqueues cpumask

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Thu Apr 24 2014 - 10:38:55 EST


Create a cpumask that limit the affinity of all unbound workqueues.
This cpumask is controlled though a file at the root of the workqueue
sysfs directory.

It works on a lower-level than the per WQ_SYSFS workqueues cpumask files
such that the effective cpumask applied for a given unbound workqueue is
the intersection of /sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/$WORKQUEUE/cpumask and
the new /sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/cpumask_unbounds file.

This patch implements the basic infrastructure and the read interface.
cpumask_unbounds is initially set to cpu_possible_mask.
