[RFC 00/12] Introduce housekeeping subsystem v2

[Frederic Weisbecker]

So after the feedback from the v1, I decided to take it one step further
and propose to re-implement isolcpus= on top of housekeeping. I expect
it to be controversial because it brings a behaviour change: isolcpus=
won't disable load balancing anymore. So you change the affinity of a
task at your own risk. OTOH it might make the implementation of isolcpus
more extendable, maybe more acceptable for a cpuset interface. I
leave you judge.

Thanks,
