nohz
Disable the tick when a single task runs.
A residual 1Hz tick is offloaded to workqueues, which you
need to affine to housekeeping through the global
workqueue's affinity configured via the
/sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/cpumask sysfs file, or
by using the 'domain' flag described below.
NOTE: by default the global workqueue runs on all CPUs,
so to protect individual CPUs the 'cpumask' file has to
be configured manually after bootup.
domain
Isolate from the general SMP balancing and scheduling
algorithms. Note that performing domain isolation this way
