Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

SMP IRQ affinity, started by Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com>
|
|
|
|
|
|
/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.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example of restricting IRQ44 (eth1) to CPU0-3 then restricting
|
|
the IRQ to CPU4-7 (this is an 8-CPU SMP box):
|
|
|
|
[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
