    scftorture: Avoid false-positive warnings in scftorture_invoker() · 22b6d149
    Paul E. McKenney authored
    If the call to set_cpus_allowed_ptr() in scftorture_invoker()
    fails, a later WARN_ONCE() complains.  But with the advent of
    570a752b ("lib/smp_processor_id: Use is_percpu_thread() instead of
    nr_cpus_allowed"), this complaint can be drowned out by complaints from
    smp_processor_id().  The rationale for this change is that scftorture's
    kthreads are not marked with PF_NO_SETAFFINITY, which means that a system
    administrator could change affinity at any time.
    
    However, scftorture is a torture test, and the system administrator might
    well have a valid test-the-test reason for changing affinity.  This commit
    therefore changes to raw_smp_processor_id() in order to avoid the noise,
    and also adds a WARN_ON_ONCE() to the call to set_cpus_allowed_ptr() in
    order to directly detect immediate failure.  There is no WARN_ON_ONCE()
    within the test loop, allowing human-reflex-based affinity resetting,
    if desired.
