Multiqueue drivers spread I/O queues across all CPUs for optimal performance. However, these drivers are not aware of CPU isolation requirements and will distribute queues without considering the isolcpus configuration. Introduce a new isolcpus mask that allows users to define which CPUs should have I/O queues assigned. This is similar to managed_irq, but intended for drivers that do not use the managed IRQ infrastructure Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke Reviewed-by: Aaron Tomlin Signed-off-by: Daniel Wagner --- include/linux/sched/isolation.h | 1 + kernel/sched/isolation.c | 7 +++++++ 2 files changed, 8 insertions(+) diff --git a/include/linux/sched/isolation.h b/include/linux/sched/isolation.h index d8501f4709b583b8a1c91574446382f093bccdb1..6b6ae9c5b2f61a93c649a98ea27482b932627fca 100644 --- a/include/linux/sched/isolation.h +++ b/include/linux/sched/isolation.h @@ -9,6 +9,7 @@ enum hk_type { HK_TYPE_DOMAIN, HK_TYPE_MANAGED_IRQ, + HK_TYPE_IO_QUEUE, HK_TYPE_KERNEL_NOISE, HK_TYPE_MAX, diff --git a/kernel/sched/isolation.c b/kernel/sched/isolation.c index a4cf17b1fab062f536c7f4f47c35f0e209fd25d6..0d59cc95bf3b8fa2f06cb562ce1baf3fdd48c9db 100644 --- a/kernel/sched/isolation.c +++ b/kernel/sched/isolation.c @@ -13,6 +13,7 @@ enum hk_flags { HK_FLAG_DOMAIN = BIT(HK_TYPE_DOMAIN), HK_FLAG_MANAGED_IRQ = BIT(HK_TYPE_MANAGED_IRQ), + HK_FLAG_IO_QUEUE = BIT(HK_TYPE_IO_QUEUE), HK_FLAG_KERNEL_NOISE = BIT(HK_TYPE_KERNEL_NOISE), }; @@ -226,6 +227,12 @@ static int __init housekeeping_isolcpus_setup(char *str) continue; } + if (!strncmp(str, "io_queue,", 9)) { + str += 9; + flags |= HK_FLAG_IO_QUEUE; + continue; + } + /* * Skip unknown sub-parameter and validate that it is not * containing an invalid character. -- 2.51.0
