[PATCH v9 09/13] isolation: Introduce io_queue isolcpus type
Posted by Aaron Tomlin 1 day, 11 hours ago
From: Daniel Wagner <wagi@kernel.org>

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
