Do you observe any performance gains from this patch?

Thanks for your comments!
Yes, the bandwidth can boost more than doubled (from 30Gbps to 80GBps) with this changes in my test env (8 numa nodes), with netperf test.


I also wonder why isn't the probe code run on the correct numa node?
That would fix a wide class of issues like this without need to tweak
drivers.

Good point, I'll check this, thanks!

Sorry, I have no idea about how the probe code to grab the appropriate NUMA node.



Bjorn, what do you think? Was this considered?

Hi Bjorn, Could you please give any comments about this issue?
Thanks!
