[PATCH 02/27] sched/isolation: Introduce housekeeping per-cpu rwsem

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Fri Jun 20 2025 - 11:25:00 EST


The HK_TYPE_DOMAIN isolation cpumask, and further the
HK_TYPE_KERNEL_NOISE cpumask will be made modifiable at runtime in the
future.

The affected subsystems will need to synchronize against those cpumask
changes so that:

* The reader get a coherent snapshot
* The housekeeping subsystem can safely propagate a cpumask update to
the susbsytems after it has been published.

Protect against readsides that can sleep with per-cpu rwsem. Updates are
expected to be very rare given that CPU isolation is a niche usecase and
related cpuset setup happen only in preparation work. On the other hand
read sides can occur in more frequent paths.
