    You don't mean an interrupt, right?
    The updates are done via the regular priority workqueue.

    I'm playing with isolation as well (has been more or less a background thing
    for the last 6+ years). Our threads that run on the isolated cores are SCHED_FIFO
    and therefor low prio workqueue stuff, like vmstat, doesn't get in the way.
    I do have a few patches for the workqueues to make things better for isolation.
