Series isolation: Exclude dynamically isolated CPUs from housekeeping masks |

Commit Message

Waiman Long Feb. 29, 2024, 2:14 a.m. UTC 
  The housekeeping CPU masks, set up by the "isolcpus" and "nohz_full"
boot command line options, are used at boot time to exclude selected CPUs
from running some kernel background processes to minimize disturbance
to latency sensitive userspace applications. Some of housekeeping CPU
masks are also checked at run time to avoid using those isolated CPUs.

The cpuset subsystem is now able to dynamically create a set of isolated
CPUs to be used in isolated cpuset partitions. The long term goal is
to make the degree of isolation as close as possible to what can be
done statically using those boot command line options.

This patch is a step in that direction by making the housekeeping CPU
mask APIs exclude the dynamically isolated CPUs when they are called
at run time. The housekeeping CPU masks will fall back to the bootup
default when all the dynamically isolated CPUs are released.

A new housekeeping_exlude_isolcpus() function is added which is to be
called by the cpuset subsystem to provide a list of isolated CPUs to
be excluded.
