Subject: [PATCH 3/4] workqueue: Add anon workqueue sysfs hierarchy
We call "anon workqueues" the set of unbound workqueues that don't
carry the WQ_SYSFS flag.
They are a problem nowadays because people who work on CPU isolation
(HPC, Real time, etc...) want to be able to migrate all the unbound
workqueues away to a single housekeeping CPU. This control is possible
through sysfs but only with WQ_SYSFS workqueues.
Now we need to deal with the other unbound workqueues. There is two
possible solutions:
1) Implement a sysfs directory for each unbound !WQ_SYSFS. This could
be done with a specific Kconfig to make sure that these workqueue
won't be considered as a stable ABI. But we all know that all distros
will enable this Kconfig symbol and that a warning in the Kconfig help
text won't protect against anything.
2) Implement a single sysfs directory containing only the cpumask file
to the control the affinity of all the !WQ_SYSFS workqueues.
This patch implements the second solution but only for non-ordered
unbound workqueues. Ordered workqueues need a special treatment and
will be handled in a subsequent patch.
