Hello, irq_build_affinity_masks() actually grouping CPUs evenly into each managed irq vector according to NUMA and CPU locality, and it is reasonable to abstract one generic API for grouping CPUs evenly, the idea is suggested by Thomas Gleixner. group_cpus_evenly() is abstracted and put into lib/, so blk-mq can re-use it to build default queue mapping. Please comments! Thanks, Ming Lei (7): genirq/affinity: remove the 'firstvec' parameter from irq_build_affinity_masks genirq/affinity: pass affinity managed mask array to irq_build_affinity_masks genirq/affinity: don't pass irq_affinity_desc array to irq_build_affinity_masks genirq/affinity: rename irq_build_affinity_masks as group_cpus_evenly genirq/affinity: move group_cpus_evenly() into lib/ lib/group_cpus: allow to group cpus in case of !CONFIG_SMP blk-mq: build default queue map via group_cpus_evenly() block/blk-mq-cpumap.c | 64 ++---- include/linux/group_cpus.h | 28 +++ kernel/irq/affinity.c | 404 +----------------------------------- lib/Makefile | 2 + lib/group_cpus.c | 413 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 465 insertions(+), 446 deletions(-) create mode 100644 include/linux/group_cpus.h create mode 100644 lib/group_cpus.c -- 2.31.1
