[PATCH 1/3] sched/isolation: Add io_queue housekeeping option

Fri Jun 21 06:53:10 PDT 2024


Drivers such as nvme-pci are spreading the IO queues on all CPUs. This
is not necessary an invalid setup when using isolcpus but there are also
users of isolcpus which do not want to have any IO workload on the
isolated CPUs.

Add a new house keeping type so the infrastructure code and drivers are
able to distinguish between the two setups.
