Ingo,

Please pull the core/isolation-v7 branch that can be found at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks.git
core/isolation-v7

HEAD: 69dc2180d1f17ff1f861c7231f4a07423c30842a

Changes since last take:

* Move kernel/housekeeping.c to kernel/sched/isolation.c and linux/housekeeping.h to linux/sched/isolation.h

* Fix tilegx build error reported by Kbuild test robot

* Rebase against latest tip:sched/core

Thanks,
Frederic

Frederic Weisbecker (12):
housekeeping: Move housekeeping related code to its own file
watchdog: Use housekeeping_cpumask() instead of ad-hoc version
housekeeping: Provide a dynamic off-case to housekeeping_any_cpu()
housekeeping: Make housekeeping cpumask private
housekeeping: Use its own static key
housekeeping: Rename is_housekeeping_cpu to housekeeping_cpu
housekeeping: Move it under its own config, independent from NO_HZ
housekeeping: Introduce housekeeping flags
housekeeping: Handle the nohz_full= parameter
housekeeping: Move isolcpus to housekeeping
housekeeping: Add basic isolcpus flags
housekeeping: Document isolcpus flags

PATCH 1/12 housekeeping: Move housekeeping related code to its own file

The housekeeping code is currently tied to the nohz code. As we are planning to make housekeeping independant from it, start with moving the relevant code to its own file.

PATCH 2/12 watchdog: Use housekeeping_cpumask() instead of ad-hoc version

In reply to Frederic Weisbecker

While trying to disable the watchog on nohz_full CPUs, the watchdog implements an ad-hoc version of housekeeping_cpumask(). Lets replace those re-invented lines.

PATCH 3/12 housekeeping: Provide a dynamic off-case to housekeeping_any_cpu()

In reply to Frederic Weisbecker

housekeeping_any_cpu() doesn't handle correctly the case where CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y and no CPU is in nohz_full mode. So far no caller needs this but let's prepare to avoid any future surprise.

PATCH 7/12 housekeeping: Move it under its own config, independent from NO_HZ

In reply to Frederic Weisbecker

Split housekeeping config from CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL. This way we finally separate the isolation code from nohz.

Although a dependency to CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL remains for now until the housekeeping code doesn't deal anymore with nohz internals directly.

PATCH 8/12 housekeeping: Introduce housekeeping flags

In reply to Frederic Weisbecker

Before we implement isolcpus under housekeeping, we need the isolation features to be more finegrained. For example some people want nohz_full without the full scheduler isolation, others want full scheduler isolation without nohz_full.

So let's cut all these isolation features piecewise, at the risk of overcutting it right now. We can still merge some flags later if they always make sense together.

sched/isolation: Introduce housekeeping flags

Before we implement isolcpus under housekeeping, we need the isolation features to be more finegrained. For example some people want NOHZ_FULL without the full scheduler isolation, others want full scheduler isolation without NOHZ_FULL.

So let's cut all these isolation features piecewise, at the risk of overcutting it right now. We can still merge some flags later if they always make sense together.

PATCH 9/12 housekeeping: Handle the nohz_full= parameter

In reply to Frederic Weisbecker

We want to centralize the isolation management from the housekeeping subsystem. Therefore we need to handle the nohz_full= parameter from there.

Since nohz_full= so far has involved unbound timers, watchdog, RCU and tilegx NAPI isolation, we keep that default behaviour.

nohz_full= is deemed to be deprecated in the future. We want to control the isolation features from the isolcpus= parameter.

PATCH 10/12 housekeeping: Move isolcpus to housekeeping

In reply to Frederic Weisbecker

We want to centralize the isolation features on the housekeeping subsystem and scheduler domain isolation is a significant part of it.

No intended behaviour change, we just reuse the housekeeping cpumask and core code.

sched/isolation: Move isolcpus= handling to the housekeeping code

We want to centralize the isolation features, to be done by the housekeeping subsystem and scheduler domain isolation is a significant part of it.

No intended behaviour change, we just reuse the housekeeping cpumask and core code.

PATCH 11/12 housekeeping: Add basic isolcpus flags

In reply to Frederic Weisbecker

Add flags to control nohz and domain isolations from "isolcpus=", in order to centralize the isolation features to a common interface. Domain isolation remains the default so not to break the existing isolcpus boot paramater behaviour.

Further flags in the future may include 0hz (1hz tick offload) and timers, workqueue, RCU, kthread, watchdog, likely all merged together in a common flag ("async"?). In any case, this will have to be modifiable by cpusets.

Well low level control at the processor level is important and this allows controlling activities on a processor that is supposed to be dedicated to certain activities without OS interaction.

isolcpus is the *right* approach here because you are micromanaging the OS and are putting dedicated pieces of software on each core.

A cgroup suggests that threads would be scheduled over multiple cores which is *not* what you want. cgroup has to do something with containers etc which is inherently more noisy and needed if you want to do different things with your processing resources.

Sod containers. That's just modern group think. cpusets existed long before all that wankery and it should very well retain the original use cases.

That said, I know there's problems with cpusets, and those should be fixed. But that doesn't mean isolcpus is anything other than a vile hack.

Historically cpusets were not used for cpu isolation. They were used to restrict applications threads to sets of cpus for performance reasons. And we are here dealing with individual processors.

Controlling the way an individual processor works would be best done with some kind of configuration in sysfs. I.e. /sys/cpu/<xx>/no_sched or so.

In lieu of that I think isolcpus is definitely better than a cpuset and it is the only way that traditionally processor handling of the OS has been restricted.

Historically cpusets were not used for cpu isolation. They were used to restrict applications threads to sets of cpus for performance reasons. And we are here dealing with individual processors.

The HPC workloads very much disabled load-balancing across most CPUs. If you disable "sched_load_balance" the thing creates NULL sched_domains, the exact thing isolcpus ends up doing.

This is something cpusets have done for a _long_ time, if not from the very start.

Yes, you can also create smaller sched_domains which is useful for other cases and you can even mix the lot, by creating a small set of load-balanced CPUs for the system tasks while giving a bunch of unbalanced CPUs to your application.
