[Patch v1 3/3] net: restrict queuing of receive packets to housekeeping CPUs

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

 



From: Alex Belits <abelits@xxxxxxxxxxx>

With the existing implementation of store_rps_map() packets are
queued in the receive path on the backlog queues of other
CPUs irrespective of whether they are isolated or not. This could
add a latency overhead to any RT workload that is running on
the same CPU.
This patch ensures that store_rps_map() only uses available
housekeeping CPUs for storing the rps_map.
