Subject: [PATCH 11/15] sched/isolation: Implement SMT-aware isolation and safety guards
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 17:09:42 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260325-dhei-v12-final-v1-11-919cca23cadf@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260325-dhei-v12-final-v1-0-919cca23cadf@gmail.com>
Manual isolation of single SMT siblings can lead to resource
contention and inconsistent performance. Furthermore, userspace might
accidentally isolate all available CPUs, leading to a system lockup.
Enhance DHEI with SMT-aware grouping and safety checks.
These enhancements ensure that hardware resource boundaries are
respected and prevent catastrophic misconfiguration of the system.
