I'll need to look at the follow on patches do to confirm, but that's
not what this should do. All CPU's should have a vector assigned because
every CPU needs to be assigned a submission context using a vector. In
your example, every vector's affinity mask should be assigned to 4 CPUs:
vector '8' starts over with A0 B0, '9' gets A1 B1, and so on.

  ^^^^^^

Sorry, I meant "CPU '8'", not "vector '8'".

Hello Keith,

Does it matter on x86 systems whether or not these interrupt vectors are also associated with a CPU with a higher CPU number? Although multiple bits can be set in /proc/irq/<n>/smp_affinity only the first bit counts on x86 platforms. In default_cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() it is easy to see that only the first bit that has been set in that mask counts on x86 systems.

Bart.
