[PATCH 1/8] blk-mq: Use all available hardware queues Suppose that a system has two CPU sockets, three cores per socket, that it does not support hyperthreading and that four hardware queues are provided by a block driver. With the current algorithm this will lead to the following assignment of CPU cores to hardware queues: HWQ 0: 0 1 HWQ 1: 2 3 HWQ 2: 4 5 HWQ 3: (none) This patch changes the queue assignment into: HWQ 0: 0 1 HWQ 1: 2 HWQ 2: 3 4 HWQ 3: 5 In other words, this patch has the following three effects: - All four hardware queues are used instead of only three. - CPU cores are spread more evenly over hardware queues. For the above example the range of the number of CPU cores associated with a single HWQ is reduced from [0..2] to [1..2]. - If the number of HWQ's is a multiple of the number of CPU sockets it is now guaranteed that all CPU cores associated with a single HWQ reside on the same CPU socket.
