From: Zqiang <qiang.zhang1211@xxxxxxxxx> When the boost kthreads are created on systems with nohz_full CPUs, the cpus_allowed_ptr is set to housekeeping_cpumask(HK_FLAG_KTHREAD). However, when the rcu_boost_kthread_setaffinity() is called, the original affinity will be changed and these kthreads can subsequently run on nohz_full CPUs. This commit makes rcu_boost_kthread_setaffinity() restrict these boost kthreads to housekeeping CPUs. Signed-off-by: Zqiang <qiang.zhang1211@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
