[RFC PATCH 9/9] workqueue: Affine unbound workqueues to housekeeping cpumask

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Fri Jul 21 2017 - 09:22:18 EST


Although the unbound workqueue cpumask can be overriden through sysfs,
the housekeeping cpumask which drives the CPU isolation provides a
relevant default value.
