IRQs not moving to reserved CPU set when using the Performance Addon Operator to isolate CPUs in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.6 and 4.7
Issue
Not all IRQs are moving to the reserved CPU set from the isolated CPU set when using the Performance Addon Operator to isolate CPUs in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.6 and 4.7.
Option_1:
cpu:
isolated: 2-47
reserved: 0-1
Option_2:
cpu:
isolated: 2-47
balanceIsolated: false
reserved: 0-1
When enabling the Performance Addon Operator (PAO) on a single socket node, one can see that many of the IRQs are not moved to the reserved CPUs.
This happens using Option_1
or Option_2
configs as described above.
