From 03f6199a359e460714b6bd08c10b566760f150a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Metcalf Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2015 15:37:25 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] nohz: Prevent tilegx network driver interrupts Normally the tilegx networking shim sends irqs to all the cores to distribute the load of processing incoming-packet interrupts, so that you can get to multiple Gb's of traffic inbound. However, in nohz_full mode we don't want to interrupt the nohz_full cores by default, so we limit the set of cores we use to only the online housekeeping cores. To make client code easier to read, we introduce a new nohz_full accessor, housekeeping_cpumask(), which returns a pointer to the housekeeping_mask if nohz_full is enabled, and otherwise returns the cpu_possible_mask.
