Subject: [PATCH RFC 02/12] sched/isolation: Introduce reconfiguration notifier chain
Date: Fri, 06 Feb 2026 02:04:23 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260206-feature-dynamic_isolcpus_dhei-v1-2-00a711eb0c74@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260206-feature-dynamic_isolcpus_dhei-v1-0-00a711eb0c74@gmail.com>
Introduce a blocking notifier chain for housekeeping to support dynamic
reconfiguration of masks. Subsystems like RCU, Timers, and IRQ
management need to be notified when the isolation state of a CPU
changes at runtime.
1. Define 'struct housekeeping_update' and 'HK_UPDATE_MASK' in
isolation.h to pass update event details (type of housekeeping and
the new mask).
2. Implement housekeeping_register_notifier() and
housekeeping_unregister_notifier() to allow subsystems to subscribe
to updates.
3. Provide an internal housekeeping_update_notify() helper to trigger
the chain.
This signaling mechanism enables other kernel subsystems to adapt their
internal state (e.g., migrating kthreads or timers) dynamically when
housekeeping masks are modified via upcoming sysfs interfaces.
