When using isolcpus kernel command line option, the CPUs specified at isolcpus= are not part of the run time environment cpumask. This causes "cyclictest -a isolatedcpus" to fail with: WARN: Couldn't setaffinity in main thread: Invalid argument FATAL: No allowable cpus to run on # /dev/cpu_dma_latency set to 0us To fix this, ignore the runtime cpumask if neither "+", "!" are specified in the cpu list string.
