Subject: [PATCH 00/20] kthread: Introduce preferred affinity v4
Affining kthreads follow either of 4 existing different patterns:
1) Per-CPU kthreads must stay affine to a single CPU and never execute
relevant code on any other CPU. This is currently handled by smpboot
code which takes care of CPU-hotplug operations.
2) Kthreads that _have_ to be affine to a specific set of CPUs and can't
run anywhere else. The affinity is set through kthread_bind_mask()
and the subsystem takes care by itself to handle CPU-hotplug operations.
3) Kthreads that _prefer_ to be affine to a specific NUMA node.
4) Similar to the previous point but kthreads have a _preferred_ affinity
different than a node. It is set manually like any other task and
CPU-hotplug is supposed to be handled by the relevant subsystem so
that the task is properly reaffined whenever a given CPU from the
preferred affinity comes up or down. Also care must be taken so that
the preferred affinity doesn't cross housekeeping cpumask boundaries.
Currently the preferred affinity patterns (3 and 4) have at least 4
identified users, with more or less success when it comes to handle
CPU-hotplug operations and CPU isolation.
This is a infrastructure proposal to handle this (after cleanups from 01
to 10).
Changes since v3:
_ Handle CPU down from scheduler fallback (new patch 11/20), suggested
by Michal Hocko
_ Simplify accordlingly 13/20 and 16/20
_ Add acks
