Ming Lei 0fbd2d4a1e blk-mq: don't schedule block kworker on isolated CPUs
[ Upstream commit a46c27026da10a126dd870f7b65380010bd20db5 ]

Kernel parameter of `isolcpus=` or 'nohz_full=' are used to isolate CPUs
for specific task, and it isn't expected to let block IO disturb these CPUs.
blk-mq kworker shouldn't be scheduled on isolated CPUs. Also if isolated
CPUs is run for blk-mq kworker, long block IO latency can be caused.

Kernel workqueue only respects CPU isolation for WQ_UNBOUND, for bound
WQ, the responsibility is on user because CPU is specified as WQ API
parameter, such as mod_delayed_work_on(cpu), queue_delayed_work_on(cpu)
and queue_work_on(cpu).

So not run blk-mq kworker on isolated CPUs by removing isolated CPUs
from hctx->cpumask. Meantime use queue map to check if all CPUs in this
hw queue are offline instead of hctx->cpumask, this way can avoid any
cost in fast IO code path, and is safe since hctx->cpumask are only
used in the two cases.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
