Re: How to distribute IRQs to all cores

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

 



Try programming the CPU-irq affinity by writing to

/proc/irq/<irq-number>/smp_affinity

For example masks for irqs could be :
irq 97 - 0x1
99     - 0x2
103   - 0x4
104   - 0x8

That way, you are hardcoding on which cpu the particular irqs should land.

Hi, everyone

The interrupts of my ixgbevf driver occurs only Core 0
although the user space "irqbalance" serivce is working.

How can I distribute the interrupt of RX in ixgbevf to all cores?
Is there any kernel compile option for it ?


cat /proc/interrupts | grep "isv"
  97:          8          0          0          0          0
0          0          0   PCI-MSI-edge      isv0-rx-0
  99:          7          0          0          0          0
0          0          0   PCI-MSI-edge      isv0:lsc
 103:       2059      0          0          0          0
0          0          0   PCI-MSI-edge      isv2-rx-0
 104:         14        0          0          0          0
0          0          0   PCI-MSI-edge      isv2-tx-0
 105:          1         0          0          0          0
0          0          0   PCI-MSI-edge      isv2:mbx

"isv" is netdevice name of my ixgbevf.



Thanks in advance.
