[PATCH 04/10] workqueue: don't set the worker's cpumask when kthread_bind_mask()

From: Lai Jiangshan
Date: Mon Dec 14 2020 - 10:00:15 EST


From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

There might be no online cpu in the pool->attrs->cpumask.
We will set the worker's cpumask later in worker_attach_to_pool().
