SMP IRQ affinity
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/proc/irq/IRQ#/smp_affinity specifies which target CPUs are permitted
|
||
|
|
for a given IRQ source. It's a bitmask of allowed CPUs. It's not allowed
|
||
|
|
to turn off all CPUs, and if an IRQ controller does not support IRQ
|
||
|
|
affinity then the value will not change from the default 0xffffffff.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/proc/irq/default_smp_affinity specifies default affinity mask that applies
|
||
|
|
to all non-active IRQs. Once IRQ is allocated/activated its affinity bitmask
|
||
|
|
will be set to the default mask. It can then be changed as described above.
|
||
|
|
Default mask is 0xffffffff.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here is an example of restricting IRQ44 (eth1) to CPU0-3 then restricting
|
||
|
|
it to CPU4-7 (this is an 8-CPU SMP box):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[root@moon 44]# cd /proc/irq/44
|
||
|
|
[root@moon 44]# cat smp_affinity
|
||
|
|
ffffffff
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[root@moon 44]# echo 0f > smp_affinity
|
||
|
|
[root@moon 44]# cat smp_affinity
|
||
|
|
0000000f
|
||
|
|
[root@moon 44]# ping -f h
|
||
|
|

|
||

|

|
||
|
|
[root@moon 44]# cat /proc/interrupts | grep 'CPU\|44:'
|
||
|
|
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3 CPU4 CPU5 CPU6 CPU7
|
||
|
|
44: 1068 1785 1785 1783 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level eth1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As can be seen from the line above IRQ44 was delivered only to the first four
|
||
|
|
processors (0-3).
|
||
|
|
Now lets restrict that IRQ to CPU(4-7).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[root@moon 44]# echo f0 > smp_affinity
|
||
|
|
[root@moon 44]# cat smp_affinity
|
||
|
|
000000f0
|
||
|
|
[root@moon 44]# ping -f h
|
||
|
|

|

|
||
|
|
round-trip min/avg/max = 0.1/0.5/585.4 ms
|
||
|
|
[root@moon 44]# cat /proc/interrupts | 'CPU\|44:'
|
||
|
|
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3 CPU4 CPU5 CPU6 CPU7
|
||
|
|
44: 1068 1785 1785 1783 1784 1069 1070 1069 IO-APIC-level eth1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This time around IRQ44 was delivered only to the last four processors.
|
||
|
|
i.e counters for the CPU0-3 did not change.
