Subject: [RESEND PATCH v13 6/9] sched/isolation: Force housekeeping if isolcpus and nohz_full don't leave any
Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2025 13:27:59 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251020112802.102451-7-gmonaco@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251020112802.102451-1-gmonaco@redhat.com>

Currently the user can set up isolcpus and nohz_full in such a way that
leaves no housekeeping CPU (i.e. no CPU that is neither domain isolated
nor nohz full). This can be a problem for other subsystems (e.g. the
timer wheel imgration).

Prevent this configuration by invalidating the last setting in case the
union of isolcpus (domain) and nohz_full covers all CPUs.
