[PATCH 3/4] workqueue: Allow modifying low level unbound workqueue cpumask

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Thu Apr 24 2014 - 10:39:19 EST


Allow to modify the low-level unbound workqueues cpumask through
sysfs. This is performed by traversing the entire workqueue list
and calling apply_workqueue_attrs() on the unbound workqueues.

Ordered workqueues need some specific treatment and will be dealt with
in a subsequent patch.
