fcoe.ko uses per-CPU kernel threads to process the incoming frames. We used to nice to -19, but a typo during our re-architecture phase fliped that value to 19. I think a performance review will help to determine a good value, but for now I'm trying to figure out a decent starting value. Both lpfc and qla2xxx use -20 for their threads, but I don't think that they're per-CPU. Is -20 a good initial nice value for fcoe.ko? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
