By default, there is one sched domain covering all CPUs, including
those isolated ones using "isolcpus=" boot parameter. However, the
isolated CPUs will not participate in load balancing, and will not
have tasks running on them unless explicitly assigning by CPU
affinity.
But, NUMA balancing has not taken *isolcpus(isolated cpus)* into
consideration. It may migrate tasks onto isolated cpus and the
migrated tasks will never escape from the isolated cpus, which will
break the isolation provided by *isolcpus* boot parameter and
intrduce various problems. The typical scenario is,
When we wanna use the isolated CPUs in a cgroup, cpuset must include
them(e.g. in container).In that case, task's CPU-affinity in the
cgroup includes the isolated CPU by default; If we pin a task onto an
isolated CPU or a CPU which on the same NUMA node with the isolated
CPU, and if there is another task sharing memory with the pinned task,
it will be migrated to the same NUMA node by NUMA-balancing for better
performance. In this case, the isolated CPU maybe chosen as the target
CPU.
Although Load-balancing never migrate a task onto isolated CPU,
NUMA-balancing does not consider isolated CPU currently. This patch
ensure NUMA balancing not to balance tasks onto isolated
