the idea is to instrument some kind of quality of service. Idle
injection is a best effort based mechanism. So we don't want to affect
high priority realtime tasks nor softirq.

not sure i understand. could you explain?

there is another patchset to convert it to kthread worker. any
advantage of smpboot thread?

good point, it was for making control variables visible to other CPUs
immediately.

you mean only force idle when there is no natural idle? i thought
about that but hard to coordinate and enforce the duration of each
