[PATCH v4] smartpqi: add module parameter disable_managed_interrupts

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

 



Add in a description for module parameter disable_managed_interrupts.

This module parameter allows users to disable automatic irq affinity
setting by turning off the PCI_IRQ_AFFINITY flag when requesting
interrupts.

When the flag PCI_IRQ_AFFINITY is set, users cannot change the interrupt
affinity through /proc/irq/<irq#>/*affinity*

Some customers would like to change interrupt affinity based on their
requirements.
