[PATCH v2 0/4] CPU isolation improvements

From: Leonardo Bras
Date: Thu Oct 13 2022 - 14:57:32 EST


Patch 1 removes some noise from isolation.c

Patch 2 adds some information about the housekeeping flags and a short
description on what to expect from the HK functions. I would really like
some feedback on this one, since I got all that from the flags usage, and
maybe I am misreading stuff.

In patch 3, I am suggesting making isolcpus have both the _DOMAIN flag and
the _WQ flag, so the _DOMAIN flag is not responsible for isolating cpus on
workqueue operations anymore. This will avoid AND'ing both those bitmaps
every time we need to check for Workqueue isolation, simplifying code and
avoiding cpumask allocation in most cases.

Maybe I am missing something in this move, so please provide feedback.

In patch 4 I use the results from patch 3 and I disallow pcrypt to schedule
work in cpus that are not enabled for workqueue housekeeping, meaning there
will be less work done in those isolated cpus.

Best regards,
Leo
