[PATCH v2 1/2] io_uring/io-wq: do not allow pinning outside of cpuset

From: Felix Moessbauer
Date: Tue Sep 10 2024 - 11:46:04 EST


The io worker threads are userland threads that just never exit to the
userland. By that, they are also assigned to a cgroup (the group of the
creating task).

When changing the affinity of the io_wq thread via syscall, we must only
allow cpumasks within the limits defined by the cpuset controller of the
cgroup (if enabled).

Fixes: da64d6db3bd3 ("io_uring: One wqe per wq")
