Subject: [PATCH v4 07/11] tick/nohz: add runtime tick_nohz_full_mask update for CPU isolation
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 11:28:18 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710-wujing-dhm-v4-7-2e912e5d9645@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710-wujing-dhm-v4-0-2e912e5d9645@gmail.com>
When kernel-noise isolation is requested for a CPU at runtime via a
cpuset isolated partition, tick suppression must be activated on the
affected CPU without requiring nohz_full= at boot.
tick_nohz_full_mask and tick_nohz_full_running are currently set only
during boot by tick_nohz_full_setup(). There is no runtime path to add
or remove CPUs from the full-dynticks set.
Add tick_nohz_cpu_isolate() and tick_nohz_cpu_deisolate(), both called
with the target CPU offline (between remove_cpu and add_cpu in the
hotplug cycling path):
tick_nohz_cpu_isolate(cpu) - lazily allocates tick_nohz_full_mask
if it was never set up at boot, sets the CPU's bit in the mask,
sets tick_nohz_full_running, and calls ct_cpu_track_user() to
activate per-CPU context tracking so kernel/user transitions
suppress the scheduler tick.
tick_nohz_cpu_deisolate(cpu) - reverses the above: deactivates
context tracking via ct_cpu_untrack_user(), clears the CPU's bit,
and clears tick_nohz_full_running when the mask becomes empty.
A per-function mutex guards the lazy allocation and running flag
updates against concurrent isolation requests.
