Merge tag 'kthread-for-7.0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks

Pull kthread updates from Frederic Weisbecker:
 "The kthread code provides an infrastructure which manages the
  preferred affinity of unbound kthreads (node or custom cpumask)
  against housekeeping (CPU isolation) constraints and CPU hotplug
  events.

  One crucial missing piece is the handling of cpuset: when an isolated
  partition is created, deleted, or its CPUs updated, all the unbound
  kthreads in the top cpuset become indifferently affine to _all_ the
  non-isolated CPUs, possibly breaking their preferred affinity along
  the way.

  Solve this with performing the kthreads affinity update from cpuset to
  the kthreads consolidated relevant code instead so that preferred
  affinities are honoured and applied against the updated cpuset
  isolated partitions.

  The dispatch of the new isolated cpumasks to timers, workqueues and
  kthreads is performed by housekeeping, as per the nice Tejun's
  suggestion.

  As a welcome side effect, HK_TYPE_DOMAIN then integrates both the set
  from boot defined domain isolation (through isolcpus=) and cpuset
  isolated partitions. Housekeeping cpumasks are now modifiable with a
  specific RCU based synchronization. A big step toward making
  nohz_full= also mutable through cpuset in the future"
