However, I noticed that most kernel threads use the affinity mask 0xff.
I can change this by using ???taskset???. However, I am wondering if
there is mechanism that forces the kernel to consider the value of
???isolcpus??? also for kernel threads.
not that I am aware of. There are a few per-CPU threads which have to
stay the way they are. I would have expected that others like kworker/u*
respect the isol CPUs and stay away.
I suppose the higher level question to Mathias is: are you seeing these
threads perturb your application? Or, are you just observing they are
affinitized to isolcpus?
We use isolcpus=1-31 to reserve all cores but core 0 for real time stuff.
I just noticed, that some kernel threads have an affinity to cores > 0.
So far I did not observe any disturbance from these threads.
Thanks
Mathias
