Subject: kmod: remove unecessary explicit wide CPU affinity setting
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d097c0240ae8085dd39aa6ca9bd9960969b2b38e;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

kmod: remove unecessary explicit wide CPU affinity setting

Khelper is affine to all CPUs.  Now since it creates the
call_usermodehelper_exec_[a]sync() kernel threads, those inherit the wide
affinity.

As such explicitly forcing a wide affinity from those kernel threads
is like a no-op.

Just remove it. It's needless and it breaks CPU isolation users who
rely on workqueue affinity tuning.
