/proc/irq/IRQ#/smp_affinity and /proc/irq/IRQ#/smp_affinity_list specify |
|
which target CPUs are permitted for a given IRQ source. It's a bitmask |
|
(smp_affinity) or cpu list (smp_affinity_list) 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 of all cpus. |
|
|
|
/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 |
|
PING hell (195.4.7.3): 56 data bytes |
|
... |
|
--- hell ping statistics --- |
|
6029 packets transmitted, 6027 packets received, 0% packet loss |
|
round-trip min/avg/max = 0.1/0.1/0.4 ms |
|
[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 |
|
PING hell (195.4.7.3): 56 data bytes |
|
.. |
|
--- hell ping statistics --- |
|
2779 packets transmitted, 2777 packets received, 0% packet loss |
|
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. |
|
|
|
Here is an example of limiting that same irq (44) to cpus 1024 to 1031:: |
|
|
|
[root@moon 44]# echo 1024-1031 > smp_affinity_list |
|
[root@moon 44]# cat smp_affinity_list |
|
1024-1031 |
|
|
|
Note that to do this with a bitmask would require 32 bitmasks of zero |
|
to follow the pertinent one.
