Subject: [PATCH v9 09/13] isolation: Introduce io_queue isolcpus type
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 18:10:43 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260330221047.630206-10-atomlin@atomlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260330221047.630206-1-atomlin@atomlin.com>
From: Daniel Wagner <wagi@kernel.org>
Multiqueue drivers spread I/O queues across all CPUs for optimal
performance. However, these drivers are not aware of CPU isolation
requirements and will distribute queues without considering the isolcpus
configuration.
Introduce a new isolcpus mask that allows users to define which CPUs
should have I/O queues assigned. This is similar to managed_irq, but
intended for drivers that do not use the managed IRQ infrastructure
