One can use "cpuset.cpus.partition" to create multiple scheduling domains
or to produce a set of isolated CPUs where load balancing is disabled.
The former use case is less common but the latter one can be frequently
used especially for the Telco use cases like DPDK.
The existing "isolated" partition can be used to produce isolated
CPUs if the applications have full control of a system. However, in a
containerized environment where all the apps are run in a container,
it is hard to distribute out isolated CPUs from the root down given
the unified hierarchy nature of cgroup v2.
The container running on isolated CPUs can be several layers down from
the root. The current partition feature requires that all the ancestors
of a leaf partition root must be parititon roots themselves. This can
be hard to configure.
This patch introduces a new type of partition called remote partition.
A remote partition is a partition whose parent is not a partition root
itself and its CPUs are acquired directly from available CPUs in the
top cpuset's cpuset.cpus.reserve. For contrast, the existing type of
partitions where their parents have to be valid partition roots are
referred to as adjacent partitions as they have to be clustered around
the cgroup root.
This patch enables only the creation of remote isolated partitions
for now.
The creation of a remote isolated partition is a 2-step process.
1) Reserve the CPUs needed by the remote partition by adding CPUs to
cpuset.cpus.reserve of the top cpuset.
2) Enable an isolated partition by
# echo isolated > cpuset.cpus.partition
Such a remote isolated partition P will only be valid if the following
conditions are true.
1) P/cpuset.cpus is a subset of top cpuset's cpuset.cpus.reserve.
2) All the CPUs in P/cpuset.cpus are present in the cpuset.cpus of
all its ancestors to ensure that those CPUs are properly granted
to P in a hierarchical manner.
3) None of the CPUs in P/cpuset.cpus have been acquired by other valid
partitions.
Like adjacent partitions, a remote partition has exclusive access to the
CPUs allocated to that partition. Because of the exclusive nature, none
of the cpuset.cpus of its sibling cpusets can contain any CPUs allocated
to the remote partition or the partition creation process will fail.
