From 91151228065354a050fd0d190aefdd662a0580aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Thu, 14 Nov 2013 12:56:18 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] workqueue: swap set_cpus_allowed_ptr() and PF_NO_SETAFFINITY Move the setting of PF_NO_SETAFFINITY up before set_cpus_allowed() in create_worker(). Otherwise userland can change ->cpus_allowed in between.
