Hi Ingo, Steve, I sent this patch a few weeks ago along with the migration_disable series. I think the controversy with the migration_disable feature may have resulted in this fix being overlooked. This patch is against -rt, but the bug theoretically affects both -rt and sched-devel/mainline. I can also whip up a sched-devel based patch if you like, but I think it will apply trivially to both places. Please consider it for inclusion. Regards, -Greg ------------------------------- Subject: fix cpus_allowed settings We miss setting nr_cpus_allowed for the kthread case since the normal set_cpus_allowed() function is not used.
