[PATCH RFC net-next 0/3] dpaa2: avoid scheduling dpio interrupts on isolated CPUs

[Josua Mayer]

Sent as RFC due to very superficial testing, and confusion wrt. which
list/tree to target. Suggest net-next. Last patch is logical first, but
must be applied last.

Each DPAA2 software portal (DPIO) is bound to one CPU. The dpaa2-eth and
caam qi2 drivers allocate channels and queues for each online CPU.
Notifications, and NAPI polling are processed on each DPIO's affine CPU.
This balances I/O load nicely across all available CPU cores while
keeping data on the hot path.

When isolcpus=managed_irq is used to reserve CPUs for latency-sensitive
applications, those CPUs are expected to be free of routine device
interrupts. However, DPIO interrupts currently continue to arrive on
isolated CPUs, interrupting any application running there.

This series assigns DPIOs only to CPUs in the HK_TYPE_MANAGED_IRQ
housekeeping mask, and changes dpaa2-eth and caam qi2 to set up their
per-CPU channels and queue pairs only on those CPUs. Without the driver
changes, both would defer probe indefinitely, waiting for a DPIO on an
isolated CPU.

Isolated CPUs can still transmit frames and enqueue crypto requests;
the resulting ingress, Tx confirmation and response processing runs on
housekeeping CPUs. Systems without isolcpus=managed_irq are unaffected.

Note: This series is submitted in reverse, to ease bisecting.
Otherwise caam/dpaa2-eth would defer probe iondefinitely when booted
with one or more isolated CPUs.
