OK, I suppose there isn't such issue if number of submitters is same or close to number of reply queues. For more submitters and less reply queue, that is another story, since the completion CPU can be used up easily, especially the completion path of megaraid driver takes much CPU, which can be observed in your previous perf trace. > > I have created internal code changes based on below RFC and using irq poll > CPU lockup issue is resolved. > https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg116668.html Could we use the 1:1 mapping and not apply out-of-tree irq poll in the following test? So that we can keep at same page easily. Thanks, Ming
