From 7a4e344c5675eefbde93ed9a98ef45e0e4957bc2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2013 11:30:00 -0700 Subject: workqueue: introduce workqueue_attrs Introduce struct workqueue_attrs which carries worker attributes - currently the nice level and allowed cpumask along with helper routines alloc_workqueue_attrs() and free_workqueue_attrs(). Each worker_pool now carries ->attrs describing the attributes of its workers. All functions dealing with cpumask and nice level of workers are updated to follow worker_pool->attrs instead of determining them from other characteristics of the worker_pool, and init_workqueues() is updated to set worker_pool->attrs appropriately for all standard pools. Note that create_worker() is updated to always perform set_user_nice() and use set_cpus_allowed_ptr() combined with manual assertion of PF_THREAD_BOUND instead of kthread_bind(). This simplifies handling random attributes without affecting the outcome. This patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes. v2: Missing cpumask_var_t definition caused build failure on some archs. linux/cpumask.h included.
