[PATCH 00/33 v5] cpuset/isolation: Honour kthreads preferred affinity

[Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@kernel.org>]

Hi,

The kthread code was enhanced lately to provide an infrastructure which
manages the preferred affinity of unbound kthreads (node or custom
cpumask) against housekeeping constraints and CPU hotplug events.

One crucial missing piece is cpuset: when an isolated partition is
created, deleted, or its CPUs updated, all the unbound kthreads in the
top cpuset are affine to _all_ the non-isolated CPUs, possibly breaking
their preferred affinity along the way

Solve this with performing the kthreads affinity update from cpuset to
the kthreads consolidated relevant code instead so that preferred
affinities are honoured.

The dispatch of the new cpumasks to workqueues and kthreads is performed
by housekeeping, as per the nice Tejun's suggestion.

As a welcome side effect, HK_TYPE_DOMAIN then integrates both the set
from isolcpus= and cpuset isolated partitions. Housekeeping cpumasks are
now modifyable with specific synchronization. A big step toward making
nohz_full= also mutable through cpuset in the future.

Changes since v4:

* Add more tags

* Rebase on v6.19-rc2 with latest cpuset changes

* Accomodate timers migration isolation

* Rename housekeeping_update() parameter from mask to isol_mask (Chen Ridong)

* Link housekeeping documentation to core-api
