[PATCH 08/15] workqueue: Support dynamic housekeeping mask updates
Posted by Qiliang Yuan 1 week ago
Unbound workqueues use HK_TYPE_WQ and HK_TYPE_DOMAIN to determine
their default CPU affinity. These boundaries are currently static and
only enforced during early boot.

Implement a housekeeping notifier to update unbound workqueue affinity.

This enables unbound workqueue tasks to respect dynamic isolation
boundaries at runtime.

This is already handled by HK_TYPE_DOMAIN with cgroup v2.

Thanks.
