Hi, So this new version takes another direction suggested by Tejun. Now we have a cpumask at the root of the workqueue directory to bound the affinity of all unbound workqueues.
It's an early release as more plumbing is required. Most notably: * Drop last patch and integrate Lai's instead to support apply_workqueue_attrs() on ordered workqueues: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/15/181 * Handle cpumask value expansion (in fact the per wq cpumask must be stored seperately than the effective cpumask to handle that correctly). I should take care of that in the next version. But I prefer to post the current state now in case I'm wandering off. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks.git core/workqueue-v3 Thanks, Frederic --- Frederic Weisbecker (4): workqueue: Create low-level unbound workqueues cpumask workqueue: Split apply attrs code from its locking workqueue: Allow modifying low level unbound workqueue cpumask workqueue: Handle ordered workqueues on cpumask_unbounds change kernel/workqueue.c | 219 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 185 insertions(+), 34 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
