In |this-ver| starting with K8s 1.22, allocation of isolcpus is in an HT-aware
manner.
.. note::
This does not apply to K8s 1.21 that you would use after a platform upgrade.
If an even number of isolcpus is required, |HT| siblings will be provided as
available. If an odd number of isolcpus is required, as many |HT| siblings as
possible will be provided.
.. note::
For optimal results, if |HT| is enabled then isolcpus should be
allocated in multiples of two in order to ensure that both |SMT| siblings
are allocated to the same container.
All |SMT| siblings (hyperthreads, if enabled) on a core will have the same
assigned function. On host boot, any CPUs designated as isolated will be
specified as part of the isolcpus kernel boot argument, which will isolate them

number of isolcpus are requested it will provide as many |SMT| siblings as
are available, then allocate singletons whose sibling has already been
allocated, then allocate one sibling from a free |SMT| sibling pair. If
hyperthreading is enabled in the BIOS then containers should request isolcpus
|HT| is enabled in the BIOS then containers should request isolcpus
in pairs. If all containers on a system do this then they will never have
different containers being allocated |SMT| siblings from the same core.
