[PATCH v3] sched/isolation: add a workqueue parameter onto isolcpus to constrain unbound CPUs

From: tiozhang
Date: Wed Jun 21 2023 - 23:22:38 EST


Motivation of doing this is to better improve boot times for devices when
we want to prevent our workqueue works from running on some specific CPUs,
i,e, some CPUs are busy with interrupts.

Also remove HK_FLAG_WQ from nohz_full to prevent nohz_full overriding
workqueue's cpu config.
