Subject: [PATCH 26/33] cgroup/cpuset: Fail if isolated and nohz_full don't leave any housekeeping
Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2025 17:48:07 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250829154814.47015-27-frederic@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250829154814.47015-1-frederic@kernel.org>

From: Gabriele Monaco <gmonaco@redhat.com>

Currently the user can set up isolated cpus via cpuset and nohz_full in
such a way that leaves no housekeeping CPU (i.e. no CPU that is neither
domain isolated nor nohz full). This can be a problem for other
subsystems (e.g. the timer wheel imgration).

Prevent this configuration by blocking any assignation that would cause
the union of domain isolated cpus and nohz_full to covers all CPUs.
