[PATCH 1/4] softirq: implement IRQ flood detection mechanism

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

 



For some high performance IO devices, interrupt may come very frequently,
meantime IO request completion may take a bit time. Especially on some
devices(SCSI or NVMe), IO requests can be submitted concurrently from
multiple CPU cores, however IO completion is only done on one of
these submission CPU cores.

Then IRQ flood can be easily triggered, and CPU lockup.

Implement one simple generic CPU IRQ flood detection mechanism. This
mechanism uses the CPU average interrupt interval to evaluate if IRQ flood
is triggered. The Exponential Weighted Moving Average(EWMA) is used to
compute CPU average interrupt interval.
