From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2026 17:01:03 +0000 (+0100) Subject: efi: Allow to expose the workqueue via sysfs X-Git-Tag: v7.1-rc1~163^2~18 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0bd96853ba723bc3b174e0158a4499758e3296aa;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git efi: Allow to expose the workqueue via sysfs Exposing the efi_rts_wq workqueue via sysfs provides an easy mechanism to restrict EFI firmware invocation to certain CPU(s). This can be used to restrict EFI invocations to specific CPUs while allowing other workqueue to use the remaning CPUs. Expose the workqueue via sysfs. Change the name to efi_runtime which is what will be visible under sysfs.
