From caeb6bae7553cd2a700a8c786b84aaae72f377f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Menglong Dong Date: Sun, 17 Oct 2021 20:04:02 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] workqueue: make sysfs of unbound kworker cpumask more clever [ Upstream commit d25302e46592c97d29f70ccb1be558df31a9a360 ] Some unfriendly component, such as dpdk, write the same mask to unbound kworker cpumask again and again. Every time it write to this interface some work is queue to cpu, even though the mask is same with the original mask. So, fix it by return success and do nothing if the cpumask is equal with the old one.
