Subject: [PATCH v10 11/13] blk-mq: prevent offlining hk CPUs with associated online isolated CPUs
Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2026 18:23:10 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260401222312.772334-12-atomlin@atomlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260401222312.772334-1-atomlin@atomlin.com>
From: Daniel Wagner <wagi@kernel.org>
When isolcpus=io_queue is enabled, and the last housekeeping CPU for a
given hctx goes offline, there would be no CPU left to handle I/O. To
prevent I/O stalls, prevent offlining housekeeping CPUs that are still
serving isolated CPUs.
When isolcpus=io_queue is enabled and the last housekeeping CPU
for a given hctx goes offline, no CPU would be left to handle I/O.
To prevent I/O stalls, disallow offlining housekeeping CPUs that are
still serving isolated CPUs.
