Currently pcrypt_aead_init_tfm() will pick callback cpus (ctx->cb_cpu) from any online cpus. Later padata_reorder() will queue_work_on() the chosen cb_cpu. This is undesired if the chosen cb_cpu is listed as isolated (i.e. using isolcpus=... or nohz_full=... kernel parameters), since the work queued will interfere with the workload on the isolated cpu. Make sure isolated cpus are not used for pcrypt.
