Patch series "memcg, cpuisol: do not interfere pcp cache charges draining with cpuisol workloads". Leonardo has reported [1] that pcp memcg charge draining can interfere with cpu isolated workloads. The said draining is done from a WQ context with a pcp worker scheduled on each CPU which holds any cached charges for a specific memcg hierarchy. Operation is not really a common operation [2]. It can be triggered from the userspace though so some care is definitely due. Leonardo has tried to address the issue by allowing remote charge draining [3]. This approach requires an additional locking to synchronize pcp caches sync from a remote cpu from local pcp consumers. Even though the proposed lock was per-cpu there is still potential for contention and less predictable behavior. This patchset addresses the issue from a different angle. Rather than dealing with a potential synchronization, cpus which are isolated are simply never scheduled to be drained. This means that a small amount of charges could be laying around and waiting for a later use or they are flushed when a different memcg is charged from the same cpu. More details are in patch 2. The first patch from Frederic is implementing an abstraction to tell whether a specific cpu has been isolated and therefore require a special treatment. This patch (of 2): Provide this new API to check if a CPU has been isolated either through isolcpus= or nohz_full= kernel parameter. It aims at avoiding kernel load deemed to be safely spared on CPUs running sensitive workload that can't bear any disturbance, such as pcp cache draining.
