Title: [realtime app] disable idle load balancing on cpus from nohz_full= cpuset Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: We're running realtime application on Ubuntu 16.04 with linux-image 4.15 and found that from time to time we get jitter caused by idle load balancing. I'm providing here a patch which solved the issue for us. The realtime application is bound to isolated CPUs (one thread per CPU, nohz_full= in kernel cmdline, all IRQs moved to housekeeping CPUs), application doesn't use any linux kernel syscalls except in startup phase so we don't expect any interruptions of the application from the kernel or HW.
