[PATCH] x86: kernel irq balance doesn't work
On i386, kernel irq balance doesn't work. 1) In function do_irq_balance, after kernel finds the min_loaded cpu but before calling set_pending_irq to really pin the selected_irq to the target cpu, kernel does a cpus_and with irq_affinity[selected_irq]. Later on, when the irq is acked, kernel would calls move_native_irq=>desc->handler->set_affinity to change the irq affinity. However, every function pointed by hw_interrupt_type->set_affinity(unsigned int irq, cpumask_t cpumask) always changes irq_affinity[irq] to cpumask. Next time when recalling do_irq_balance, it has to do cpu_ands again with irq_affinity[selected_irq], but irq_affinity[selected_irq] already becomes one cpu selected by the first irq balance. 2) Function balance_irq in file arch/i386/kernel/io_apic.c has the same issue.
