That is what I would expect also. For example, in my node, where there are 16 cpus, and 2 numa nodes, I observe much better nvmf IOPS performance by setting up my 16 driver completion event queues such that each is bound to a node-local cpu. So I end up with each nodel-local cpu having 2 queues bound to it. W/O adding support in iw_cxgb4 for ib_get_vector_affinity(), this works fine. I assumed adding ib_get_vector_affinity() would allow this to all "just work" by default, but I'm running into this connection failure issue. I don't understand exactly what the blk_mq layer is trying to do, but I assume it has ingress event queues and processing that it trying to align with the drivers ingress cq event handling, so everybody stays on the same cpu (or at least node). But something else is going on. Is there documentation on how this works somewhere?
