[PATCH-wq v2 5/5] workqueue: Bind unbound workqueue rescuer to wq_unbound_cpumask
From: Waiman Long
Date: Sat Feb 03 2024 - 10:44:51 EST
Commit 85f0ab43f9de ("kernel/workqueue: Bind rescuer to unbound
cpumask for WQ_UNBOUND") modified init_rescuer() to bind rescuer of
an unbound workqueue to the cpumask in wq->unbound_attrs. However
unbound_attrs->cpumask's of all workqueues are initialized to
cpu_possible_mask and will only be changed if it has the WQ_SYSFS flag
to expose a cpumask sysfs file to be written by users. So this patch
doesn't achieve what it is intended to do.
If an unbound workqueue is created after wq_unbound_cpumask is modified
and there is no more unbound cpumask update after that, the unbound
rescuer will be bound to all CPUs unless the workqueue is created
with the WQ_SYSFS flag and an user explicitly modified its cpumask
sysfs file. Fix this problem by binding directly to wq_unbound_cpumask
in init_rescuer().
