PF_THREAD_BOUND was originally used to mark kernel threads which were bound to a specific CPU using kthread_bind() and a task with the flag set allows cpus_allowed modifications only to itself. Workqueue is currently abusing it to prevent userland from meddling with cpus_allowed of workqueue workers. What we need is a flag to prevent userland from messing with cpus_allowed of certain kernel tasks. In kernel, anyone can (incorrectly) squash the flag, and, for worker-type usages, restricting cpus_allowed modification to the task itself doesn't provide meaningful extra proection as other tasks can inject work items to the task anyway. This patch replaces PF_THREAD_BOUND with PF_NO_SETAFFINITY. sched_setaffinity() checks the flag and return -EINVAL if set. set_cpus_allowed_ptr() is no longer affected by the flag. This will allow simplifying workqueue worker CPU affinity management.
