Unable to use numactl to bind a isolated core

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • Isolated cores
[root@example.com ~]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/isolated
1-13,15-27
  • Binding to an isolated core
[root@example.com ~]# numactl -C 4 date
libnuma: Warning: cpu argument 4 is out of range

<4> is invalid
usage: numactl [--all | -a] [--interleave= | -i <nodes>] [--preferred= | -p <node>]
               [--physcpubind= | -C <cpus>] [--cpunodebind= | -N <nodes>]
               [--membind= | -m <nodes>] [--localalloc | -l] command args ...
       numactl [--show | -s]
       numactl [--hardware | -H]
       numactl [--length | -l <length>] [--offset | -o <offset>] [--shmmode | -M <shmmode>]
               [--strict | -t]
               [--shmid | -I <id>] --shm | -S <shmkeyfile>
               [--shmid | -I <id>] --file | -f <tmpfsfile>
               [--huge | -u] [--touch | -T] 
               memory policy | --dump | -d | --dump-nodes | -D

memory policy is --interleave | -i, --preferred | -p, --membind | -m, --localalloc | -l
<nodes> is a comma delimited list of node numbers or A-B ranges or all.
Instead of a number a node can also be:
  netdev:DEV the node connected to network device DEV
  file:PATH  the node the block device of path is connected to
  ip:HOST    the node of the network device host routes through
  block:PATH the node of block device path
  pci:[seg:]bus:dev[:func] The node of a PCI device
<cpus> is a comma delimited list of cpu numbers or A-B ranges or all
all ranges can be inverted with !
all numbers and ranges can be made cpuset-relative with +
the old --cpubind argument is deprecated.
use --cpunodebind or --physcpubind instead
<length> can have g (GB), m (MB) or k (KB) suffixes
