The rcu_boost_kthread_setaffinity() function removes the outgoing CPU from the set_cpus_allowed() mask for the corresponding leaf rcu_node structure's rcub priority-boosting kthread. Except that if the outgoing CPU will leave that structure without any online CPUs, the mask is set to the housekeeping CPU mask from housekeeping_cpumask(). Which is fine unless the outgoing CPU happens to be a housekeeping CPU. This commit therefore removes the outgoing CPU from the housekeeping mask. This would of course be problematic if the outgoing CPU was the last online housekeeping CPU, but in that case you are in a world of hurt anyway. If someone comes up with a valid use case for a system needing all the housekeeping CPUs to be offline, further adjustments can be made. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
