Subject: [PATCH v4 01/11] sched/isolation: Add runtime housekeeping mask updates with boot snapshots
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 11:28:12 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710-wujing-dhm-v4-1-2e912e5d9645@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710-wujing-dhm-v4-0-2e912e5d9645@gmail.com>
The housekeeping cpumasks for kernel noise (HK_TYPE_KERNEL_NOISE) and
managed interrupts (HK_TYPE_MANAGED_IRQ) are computed once at boot from
the nohz_full= and isolcpus=managed_irq arguments. Dynamic CPU
isolation driven by cpuset isolated partitions needs to update these
masks after boot.
Add housekeeping_update_types() to recompute one or more housekeeping
masks as (boot snapshot & ~isolated), publish them via RCU and free the
old masks after a grace period.
Introduce HK_TYPE_KERNEL_NOISE_BOOT and HK_TYPE_MANAGED_IRQ_BOOT to
record the immutable boot configuration. Anchoring every update on the
boot snapshot keeps the runtime mask a subset of the boot set and lets
de-isolation restore the boot configuration exactly.
When neither nohz_full= nor isolcpus=nohz was given at boot no boot
snapshot exists, so cpu_possible_mask is the implicit boot set and
HK_TYPE_KERNEL_NOISE is enabled on the first runtime call. In that
case housekeeping_update_types() also calls sched_tick_offload_init()
to allocate the tick offload percpu data that would otherwise only be
allocated by housekeeping_init() when nohz_full= is present at boot.
Remove __init from sched_tick_offload_init() and guard it with a
tick_work_cpu check so it is safe to call at runtime.
