Currently, the cpu_is_isolated() function checks only the statically isolated CPUs specified via the "isolcpus" and "nohz_full" kernel command line options. This function is used by vmstat and memcg to reduce interference with isolated CPUs by not doing stat flushing or scheduling works on those CPUs. Workloads running on isolated CPUs within isolated cpuset partitions should receive the same treatment to reduce unnecessary interference. This patch introduces a new cpuset_cpu_is_isolated() function to be called by cpu_is_isolated() so that the set of dynamically created cpuset isolated CPUs will be included in the check. Assuming that testing a bit in a cpumask is atomic, no synchronization primitive is currently used to synchronize access to the cpuset's isolated_cpus mask.

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.
