iirc the main reasons for unbound threads migrating away are:
- something else gets scheduled on these logical CPUs, so
the scheduler tries to balance to run queue lengths
You could check that with perf timechart or perf sched record/map
or kernelshark.
- there is some IO or communication which causes wakeup affinity.
You could try disabling WAKEUP_PREEMPTION or NEXT_BUDDY in
/sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
