From 9985b0bab332289f14837eff3c6e0bcc658b58f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Rientjes Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2008 12:57:11 -0700 Subject: sched: prevent bound kthreads from changing cpus_allowed Kthreads that have called kthread_bind() are bound to specific cpus, so other tasks should not be able to change their cpus_allowed from under them. Otherwise, it is possible to move kthreads, such as the migration or software watchdog threads, so they are not allowed access to the cpu they work on.
