[PATCH] workqueue: Avoid a false warning in unbind_workers()

From: Lai Jiangshan
Date: Fri Jul 29 2022 - 05:43:51 EST


From: Lai Jiangshan <jiangshan.ljs@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Doing set_cpus_allowed_ptr() with wq_unbound_cpumask can be possible
fails and trigger the false warning.

Use cpu_possible_mask instead when wq_unbound_cpumask has no active CPUs.

It is very easy to trigger the warning:
Set wq_unbound_cpumask to a small set of CPUs.
Offline all the CPUs of wq_unbound_cpumask.
Offline an extra CPU and trigger the warning.

Fixes: 10a5a651e3af("workqueue: Restrict kworker in the offline CPU pool running on housekeeping CPUs")
