Re: [PATCH] irq_balance does not make sense with HT but single physicalCPU

If you had two tasks both running continuously, one per sibling, then
not IRQ balancing will penalise the task on the sibling which is
getting most interrupts.


Yes - did some more reading on HT and how the cpu looks like in that case ... I was thinking that interrupt lines - while in HT mode - aren´t available independently to both "parts" of the cpu. That was my fault - of course.

So just dismiss the patch - sorry.

Thanks,

Kai
