This series enhances the irq and PCI code to allow spreading around MSI and
MSI-X vectors so that they have per-cpu affinity if possible, or at least
per-node. For that it takes the algorithm from blk-mq, moves it to
a common place, and makes it available through a vastly simplified PCI
interrupt allocation API. It then switches blk-mq to be able to pick up
the queue mapping from the device if available, and demonstrates all this
using the NVMe driver.
Hello Christoph,
Is my interpretation correct that for an adapter that supports two
interrupts and on a system with eight CPU cores and no hyperthreading
this patch series will assign interrupt vector 0 to CPU 0 and interrupt
vector 1 to CPU 1? Are you aware that drivers like ib_srp assume that
interrupts have been spread evenly, that means assigning vector 0 to CPU
0 and vector 1 to CPU 4?
Thanks,
Bart.
