AFAIK, the issue is reported on RH Openshift environment and it is real use
case, some of CPUs are isolated for some dedicated tasks(such as network polling,
...) by passing "isolcpus=managed_irq nohz_full".

But blk-mq still queue kworker on these isolated CPUs, and cause very long
latency in nvme IO workloads. Joe should know the story much more then me.


Thanks,
Ming
