Subject: [Patch v3 1/3] lib: Restrict cpumask_local_spread to houskeeping CPUs
Date:   Tue, 23 Jun 2020 15:23:29 -0400
Message-Id: <20200623192331.215557-2-nitesh@redhat.com>
In-Reply-To: <20200623192331.215557-1-nitesh@redhat.com>

From: Alex Belits <abelits@marvell.com>

The current implementation of cpumask_local_spread() does not respect the
isolated CPUs, i.e., even if a CPU has been isolated for Real-Time task,
it will return it to the caller for pinning of its IRQ threads. Having
these unwanted IRQ threads on an isolated CPU adds up to a latency
overhead.

Restrict the CPUs that are returned for spreading IRQs only to the
available housekeeping CPUs.
