You need to fill up the nohz_full boot parameter with the desired range of dynticks CPUs to use it. This is implemented at the expense of some overhead in user <-> kernel transitions: syscalls, exceptions and interrupts.

By default, without passing the nohz_full parameter, this behaves just like NO_HZ_IDLE.

If you're a distro say Y.
