      Description of problem:

      Om preempt-rt, after updating the SMP affinity of a network interrupt, the corresponding IRQ thread does not get updated immediately. This will be done when the next interrupt received and the thread is migrated to the proper core.

      <idle>-0 [064] d...2.. 504437.282162: sched_switch: prev_comm=swapper/64 prev_pid=0 prev_prio=120 prev_state=R ==> next_comm=oslat next_pid=2563104 next_prio=98

      <...>-2563104 [064] ....... 504439.963410: tracing_mark_write: oslat: Trace threshold (20 us) triggered with 20 us!

      This is problematic if the interrupt was originally affined to an isolated core as the migration will cause a latency spike. In a real deployment this is less of an issue as this as the situation heals itself after 1 interrupt. It is problematic for benchmark testing with oslat etc. as this can cause spikes that potentially exceed the threshold.

      Ideally the thread would get reaffined when the SMP affinity for the IRQ is updated

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
      9.2 but this will exist in earlier versions as well

      How reproducible:
      100% if an interrupt thread was originally pinned to an isolated core and an interrupt is received.

      Steps to Reproduce:
