[PATCH v2 2/2] ahci: switch from 'threaded' to 'hardirq' interrupt handling

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

 



For high frequency I/O the overhead of threaded interrupts impacts
performance.  Add an option to make it configurable, with the default
being hardirq.

A quick out-of-the-box test (i.e. no affinity tuning) shows ~10% random
read performance at ~20% less cpu.  The cpu wins appear to be from
reduced lock contention.
