From d097c0240ae8085dd39aa6ca9bd9960969b2b38e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2015 15:38:16 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] kmod: remove unecessary explicit wide CPU affinity setting Khelper is affine to all CPUs. Now since it creates the call_usermodehelper_exec_[a]sync() kernel threads, those inherit the wide affinity. As such explicitly forcing a wide affinity from those kernel threads is like a no-op. Just remove it. It's needless and it breaks CPU isolation users who rely on workqueue affinity tuning.
