      This is a clone of issue OCPBUGS-23167. The following is the description of the original issue:

      Description of problem:

      On SNO with DU profile(RT kernel) tuned profile is always degraded due to net.core.busy_read, net.core.busy_poll and kernel.numa_balancing sysctl not existing in RT kernel

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

      4.14.1

      How reproducible:

      100%

      Steps to Reproduce:

      1. Deploy SNO with DU profile(RT kernel)
      2. Check tuned profile
      

      Actual results:

      oc -n openshift-cluster-node-tuning-operator get profile -o yaml

          tunedProfile: performance-patch
      kind: List
      metadata:
        resourceVersion: ""
      

      Expected results:

      Not degraded

      Additional info:

      Looking at the tuned log the following errors show up which are probably causing the profile to get into degraded state:
      
      2023-11-09 18:30:49,287 ERROR    tuned.plugins.plugin_sysctl: Failed to read sysctl parameter 'net.core.busy_read', the parameter does not exist

      2023-11-09 18:30:49,287 ERROR    tuned.plugins.plugin_sysctl: Failed to read sysctl parameter 'net.core.busy_poll', the parameter does not exist

      These sysctl parameters seem not to be available with RT kernel.
