[Patch 2/2] x86, irq: Support CPU vector allocation policies

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



On NUMA systems, an IO device may be associated with a NUMA node.
It may improve IO performance to allocate resources, such as memory
and interrupts, from device local node.

This patch introduces a mechanism to support CPU vector allocation
policies, so users may choose the best suitable CPU vector allocation
policy. Currently there are two supported allocation policies:
1) allocate CPU vectors from CPUs on device local node
2) allocate CPU vectors from all online CPUs

This mechanism may be used to support NumaConnect systems to allocate
CPU vectors from device local node.
