Wouldn't the task be pinned if it is running on a nohz CPU?
We don't push out pinned tasks so this seems unnecessary.
Am I missing something?
No. Task will not be pinned if it running on nohz_full unless
user has done a taskset. They are still part of sched domains.
Pinning is usually true for isolcpus. You need to explicity set taskset
for isolcpus since by default you won't go to those CPUs.
TIL! I was under the impression that nohz_full is a superset of isolcpus
but I was clearly mistaken. Thank you for clarifying.
