当tid是内核线程时，来自sched_setaffinity（）调用的错误

Question

I make a call to kernel function sched_setaffinity() to try to lock a kernel thread with a CPU, but it always fails with errno 22 that says "Invalid argument". The machine runs Fedora 15, with kernel version 2.6.38.

This call is successful if a non-kernel tid is passed in. Is this a restriction by the kernel, or is there some tweaking that can make it working?

Answer 1

Any kernel thread that is bound to a specific CPU with kthread_bind() cannot have its affinity changed. It should be possible for other kernel threads, though.

Answer 2

在设置地图并将其传递给sched_setaffinity之前，请确保将地图清零。

CPU_ZERO(&mask);
