Kthreads attached to a preferred NUMA node for their task structure allocation can also be assumed to run preferrably within that same node.
A more precise affinity is usually notified by calling kthread_create_on_cpu() or kthread_bind[_mask]() before the first wakeup. For the others, a default affinity to the node is desired and sometimes implemented with more or less success when it comes to deal with hotplug events and nohz_full / CPU Isolation interactions: - kcompactd is affine to its node and handles hotplug but not CPU Isolation - kswapd is affine to its node and ignores hotplug and CPU Isolation - A bunch of drivers create their kthreads on a specific node and don't take care about affining further. Handle that default node affinity preference at the generic level instead, provided a kthread is created on an actual node and doesn't apply any specific affinity such as a given CPU or a custom cpumask to bind to before its first wake-up. This generic handling is aware of CPU hotplug events and CPU isolation such that: * When a housekeeping CPU goes up that is part of the node of a given kthread, the related task is re-affined to that own node if it was previously running on the default last resort online housekeeping set from other nodes. * When a housekeeping CPU goes down while it was part of the node of a kthread, the running task is migrated (or the sleeping task is woken up) automatically by the scheduler to other housekeepers within the same node or, as a last resort, to all housekeepers from other nodes.
