From b5b0432d36c7f97ef9d4c3a902f61c89bfe6da32 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Konstantin Khlebnikov Date: Wed, 15 May 2019 09:59:00 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] x86/cpu: Disable frequency requests via aperfmperf IPI for nohz_full CPUs Since commit 29425c82a526 ("x86 / CPU: Always show current CPU frequency in /proc/cpuinfo") open and read of /proc/cpuinfo sends IPI to all CPUs. Many applications read /proc/cpuinfo at the start for trivial reasons like counting cores or detecting cpu features. While sensitive workloads like DPDK network polling don't like any interrupts. Integrates this feature with cpu isolation and do not send IPIs to CPUs without housekeeping flag HK_FLAG_MISC (set by nohz_full). Code that requests cpu frequency like show_cpuinfo() falls back to the last frequency set by the cpufreq driver if this method returns 0.
