CPU isolation reboot message

Featured Replies

I have some cores pinned and isolated…seemingly no issues there.  Every time I visit the cpu-pinning page though, I get the “CPU Isolation: a reboot is required to apply changes” banner along the top of my GUI.

 

Should I be concerned that the pinning changes aren’t working, or is this a GUI bug?

 

Thanks!

Did you manually add isolation in syslinx?

I see text there but I don’t know if it was manually added.  Does the pinning GUI add this, or could I have added it years ago?

Have you rebooted since making any changes as I guess this does not match?

Yes, many reboots. Maybe I should remove isolation on the GUI and in syslinux and start again. 

  • 8 months later...

I have a verry similar issue in 6.12.14. When I visit cpu pining page (Dashboard/Settings/CPUset) and change docker pinning it prompts me to restart even though I do not touch Isolation... Is this normal behavior? I had the verry same kind of problem with VM manager where enterring the page would also cause the message to instantly pop up. The cause was either 'PCIe ACS override' or 'VFIO allow unsafe interrupts' setting once I removed them it solved the issue. Problem is I need CPU isolation x docker pinning so it would be annoying having this message show up every I change docker pinning...

Can you provide cat /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg as this is not in the diags and cat /proc/cmdline if no diags provided.

I have run the code with values you provided and should not show up.

Can you change this in the syslinx

 

label Unraid OS GUI Mode

kernel /bzimage

append isolcpus=11-15,27-31 initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui

 

label Unraid OS GUI Mode

kernel /bzimage

append initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui isolcpus=11-15,27-31

 

To see if that makes a difference.
