[PATCH 0/6 v3] sched/mm: LRU drain flush on nohz_full

[Frederic Weisbecker]

Hi,

When LRUs are pending, the drain can be triggered remotely, whether the
remote CPU is running in userspace in nohz_full mode or not. This kind
of noise is expected to be caused by preparatory work before a task
runs isolated in userspace. This patchset is a proposal to flush that
before the task starts its critical work in userspace.

Changes since v2:

* Add tags (thanks everyone)
* Assume TASK_WORK_DEQUEUED is set before calling task_work_add() (Oleg)
* Return -EINVAL if queued from kthread instead of silently ignoring.
* Queue from a more appropriate place (folio_batch_add()) (Michal)
* Refactor changelog on last patch (Michal)
