Subject: [PATCH v4 2/5] workqueue: Add workqueue_unbound_exclude_cpumask() to exclude CPUs from wq_unbound_cpumask
When the "isolcpus" boot command line option is used to add a set
of isolated CPUs, those CPUs will be excluded automatically from
wq_unbound_cpumask to avoid running work functions from unbound
workqueues.
Recently cpuset has been extended to allow the creation of partitions
of isolated CPUs dynamically. To make it closer to the "isolcpus"
in functionality, the CPUs in those isolated cpuset partitions should be
excluded from wq_unbound_cpumask as well. This can be done currently by
explicitly writing to the workqueue's cpumask sysfs file after creating
the isolated partitions. However, this process can be error prone.
Ideally, the cpuset code should be allowed to request the workqueue code
to exclude those isolated CPUs from wq_unbound_cpumask so that this
operation can be done automatically and the isolated CPUs will be returned
back to wq_unbound_cpumask after the destructions of the isolated
cpuset partitions.
This patch adds a new workqueue_unbound_exclude_cpumask() function to
enable that. This new function will exclude the specified isolated
CPUs from wq_unbound_cpumask. To be able to restore those isolated
CPUs back after the destruction of isolated cpuset partitions, a new
wq_requested_unbound_cpumask is added to store the user provided unbound
cpumask either from the boot command line options or from writing to
the cpumask sysfs file. This new cpumask provides the basis for CPU
exclusion.
To enable users to understand how the wq_unbound_cpumask is being
modified internally, this patch also exposes the newly introduced
wq_requested_unbound_cpumask as well as a wq_isolated_cpumask to
store the cpumask to be excluded from wq_unbound_cpumask as read-only
sysfs files.
