Thanks Markus!
I just tested again, and get the same result as you. I figure my
previous test was with the complete series.
PATCH 5 appears to make it work. Suggest to say something like "The
commit after next will make this work".
I'll phrase it like " We'll wire this up next to make it work."

So, when a thread is created, its affinity comes from its thread context
(if any). When I later change the context's affinity, it does *not*
affect existing threads, only future ones. Correct?
Yes, that's the current state.
Thanks!
I'm adding
"Note that the CPU affinity of previously created threads will not get
adjusted."
and
"In general, the interface behaves like pthread_setaffinity_np(): host
CPU numbers that are currently not available are ignored; only host CPU
numbers that are impossible with the current kernel will fail. If the
list of host CPU numbers does not include a single CPU that is
available, setting the CPU affinity will fail."
