Userspace starving kernel threads for CPU cycle.

[Àbéjídé Àyodélé]

Hi,

First time poster here.

I have a machine with 80 cores and I had a burst of requesting more cpu
period than the available number of CPUs, my guess was that this resulted
in starvation for the kernel threads, is my guess plausible or do kernel
threads get preference for scheduling.

Also pardon my ignorance if my question sounds dumb.

Thanks,
