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

From: Lai Jiangshan
Date: Thu Mar 12 2015 - 00:58:34 EST


Allow to modify the low-level unbound workqueues cpumask through
sysfs. This is performed by traversing the entire workqueue list
and calling wq_unbound_install_ctx_prepare() on the unbound workqueues
with the low level mask passed in. Only after all the preparation are done,
we commit them all together.

The oreder-workquue is ignore from the low level unbound workqueue cpumask,
it will be handled in near future.

The per-nodes' pwqs are mandatorily controlled by the low level cpumask, while
the default pwq ignores the low level cpumask when (and ONLY when) the cpumask set
by the user doesn't overlap with the low level cpumask. In this case, we can't
apply the empty cpumask to the default pwq, so we use the user-set cpumask
directly.
