Re: e1000 softirq load balancing

Ok.  That seems very reasonable.

So the behavior I am seeing is that I have 4 NICs, but all of the traffic is being funneled to 1-2 softirq handlers, despite the fact that the hardware interrupts are being delivered to 4 different CPUs.

Any tips on how to debug this? Or perhaps there is some configuration step I am missing?

Thanks,
Don

Would you mind giving me a bit of intuition why I can't have a 1:1
mapping of CPUs to NICs?

I didn't say that.

I said that without HW flow seperation support, you can only
expect N cpus to be busy where N is the number of NICs you
have.
