Subject: RE: [PATCH v2] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Don't assign VMbus channel
 interrupts to isolated CPUs

I don't have any existing knowledge of DPDK use of isolated CPUs,
so someone with more expertise feel free to correct me.

From what I see in the DPDK documentation (Section 8.3 here:
https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/linux_gsg/enable_func.html), there's
no impact.  The example in that documentation does CPU isolation
only for the purpose of scheduling, not for interrupts.  The
example kernel command line is:

isolcpus=2,4,6

which defaults to "domain" as the "flag" and is equivalent to:

isolcpus=domain,2,4,6.

VMbus channel interrupts are affected only if "managed_irq" is
specified as the flag per the commit message below.

And FWIW, cpusets provide a better way to doing scheduler
isolation than the isolcpus kernel boot option.  Perhaps the
DPDK documentation should be updated. :-)
