Back in the day there used to be code in cxgb to bind different
interrupts to different CPUs but it was removed because the kernel
distributed them across CPUs anyway. So what changed? This appears 8.3
specific. I don't see it on head and I don't have a 9 system readily
maybe stupid question but isn't it better to execute same fragment of
code repetitively on same CPU core and don't mess with cache trashing?
Of course as long as one core can cope with it.
That, and cache trashing is not that big an issue if the threads are
working on their own sets of data. This is precisely the problem that
network stack parallelization tries to solve.
