From 49584bb8ddbe8bcfc276c2d7dd3c8890f45f5970 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Waiman Long Date: Thu, 8 Feb 2024 11:10:14 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] workqueue: Bind unbound workqueue rescuer to wq_unbound_cpumask Commit 85f0ab43f9de ("kernel/workqueue: Bind rescuer to unbound cpumask for WQ_UNBOUND") modified init_rescuer() to bind rescuer of an unbound workqueue to the cpumask in wq->unbound_attrs. However unbound_attrs->cpumask's of all workqueues are initialized to cpu_possible_mask and will only be changed if it has the WQ_SYSFS flag to expose a cpumask sysfs file to be written by users. So this patch doesn't achieve what it is intended to do. If an unbound workqueue is created after wq_unbound_cpumask is modified and there is no more unbound cpumask update after that, the unbound rescuer will be bound to all CPUs unless the workqueue is created with the WQ_SYSFS flag and a user explicitly modified its cpumask sysfs file. Fix this problem by binding directly to wq_unbound_cpumask in init_rescuer().
