Subject: [PATCH-wq v3 1/4] workqueue: Enable unbound cpumask update on ordered workqueues
Ordered workqueues does not currently follow changes made to the
global unbound cpumask because per-pool workqueue changes may break
the ordering guarantee. IOW, a work function in an ordered workqueue
may run on an isolated CPU.
This patch enables ordered workqueues to follow changes made to
the global unbound cpumask by temporaily freeze the newly allocated
pool_workqueue by using the new frozen flag to freeze execution of
newly queued work items until the old pwq has been properly flushed.
This enables ordered workqueues to follow the unbound cpumask changes
like other unbound workqueues at the expense of some delay in execution
of work functions during the transition period.
