Subject: [PATCH 2/4] sched: implement __set_cpus_allowed()
Concurrency managed workqueue needs to be able to migrate tasks to a
cpu which is online but !active for the following two purposes.
p1. To guarantee forward progress during cpu down sequence. Each
workqueue which could be depended upon during memory allocation
has an emergency worker task which is summoned when a pending work
on such workqueue can't be serviced immediately. cpu hotplug
callbacks expect workqueues to work during cpu down sequence
(usually so that they can flush them), so, to guarantee forward
progress, it should be possible to summon emergency workers to
!active but online cpus.
p2. To migrate back unbound workers when a cpu comes back online.
When a cpu goes down, existing workers are unbound from the cpu
and allowed to run on other cpus if there still are pending or
running works. If the cpu comes back online while those workers
are still around, those workers are migrated back and re-bound to
the cpu. This isn't strictly required for correctness as long as
those unbound workers don't execute works which are newly
scheduled after the cpu comes back online; however, migrating back
the workers has the advantage of making the behavior more
consistent thus avoiding surprises which are difficult to expect
and reproduce, and being actually cleaner and easier to implement.
To implement this, __set_cpus_allowed() is factored out from
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() and @force parameter is added to it. The
latter is now a wrapper around the former with @force set to %false.
When @force is %false, the following original behaviors are
maintained.
c1. Check whether PF_THREAD_BOUND is set. This is set for bound
kthreads so that they can't be moved around.
c2. Check whether the target cpu is still marked active -
cpu_active(). Active state is cleared early while downing a cpu.
When @force parameter is %true, __set_cpus_allowed() ignores c1 and
uses cpu online state instead of active state for c2.
Due to the way migration is implemented, the @force parameter needs to
be passed over to the migration cpu_stop callback. @force parameter
is added to struct migration_req and passed to __migrate_task().
Please note the naming discrepancy between set_cpus_allowed_ptr() and
the new functions. The _ptr suffix is from the days when cpumask API
wasn't mature and future changes should drop it from
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() too.
