Subject: [PATCH RFC 01/12] sched/isolation: Remove __init restriction from housekeeping cores
Date: Fri, 06 Feb 2026 02:04:22 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260206-feature-dynamic_isolcpus_dhei-v1-1-00a711eb0c74@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260206-feature-dynamic_isolcpus_dhei-v1-0-00a711eb0c74@gmail.com>

The current housekeeping management logic in kernel/sched/isolation.c is
heavily tied to the boot process. Functions like housekeeping_setup()
and housekeeping_init() are marked with __init, and they use
alloc_bootmem_cpumask_var() for memory allocation. This prevents any
runtime reconfiguration of housekeeping masks.

Refactor the infrastructure to support dynamic updates:
1. Remove __init markers from core functions to keep them available
   after boot.
2. Replace bootmem allocation with runtime-safe alloc_cpumask_var()
   using appropriate GFP flags (GFP_NOWAIT during early boot,
   GFP_KERNEL at runtime).
3. Introduce housekeeping_mutex to protect the global state during
   concurrent updates.
4. Update include/linux/sched/isolation.h to reflect function
   signature changes.

This lays the foundation for runtime isolation reconfiguration without
requiring a system reboot.
