Yes, it is running, I also putted a heavy load with around 10000 interrupt per second to see if it changes the number but the output is still like this: #cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3 CPU4 CPU5 CPU6 CPU7 98: 78484912 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 PCI-MSI eth0 106: 79396962 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 PCI-MSI eth1 After 1 Sec: CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3 CPU4 CPU5 CPU6 CPU7 98: 78500792 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 PCI-MSI eth0 106: 79396970 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 PCI-MSI eth1 The interesting point is that the value of affinity mask changes frequently, when I set it to FFFFFFFF it is FF for some seconds and then it changes to other values like 02 04 08 ! -----Original Message----- From: Mulyadi Santosa [mailto:mulyadi.santosa@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, November 30, 2010 10:29 AM To: Raoufehsadat Hashemian Harandi Cc: kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: FW: problem setting up affinity mask for irq intrupt On Wed, Dec 1, 2010 at 00:12, Raoufehsadat Hashemian Harandi <rhashem@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hello, > > > > I am completely new in Kernel related stuff.

Hmmm, have you checked that irqbalance is indeed running? -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
