    workqueue: Provide work_on_cpu_safe() · 0e8d6a93
    Thomas Gleixner authored
    
    
    work_on_cpu() is not protected against CPU hotplug. For code which requires
    to be either executed on an online CPU or to fail if the CPU is not
    available the callsite would have to protect against CPU hotplug.
    
    Provide a function which does get/put_online_cpus() around the call to
    work_on_cpu() and fails the call with -ENODEV if the target CPU is not
    online.
    
    Preparatory patch to convert several racy task affinity manipulations.
