[PATCH V5 net-next] net: mana: Assigning IRQ affinity on HT cores

From: Souradeep Chakrabarti
Date: Fri Dec 08 2023 - 05:02:44 EST


Existing MANA design assigns IRQ to every CPU, including sibling
hyper-threads. This may cause multiple IRQs to be active simultaneously
in the same core and may reduce the network performance with RSS.

Improve the performance by assigning IRQ to non sibling CPUs in local
NUMA node. The performance improvement we are getting using ntttcp with
following patch is around 15 percent with existing design and approximately
11 percent, when trying to assign one IRQ in each core across NUMA nodes,
if enough cores are present.

V4 -> V5:
* Fixed use of for_each_numa_hop_mask in irq_setup, by using
visited_cpus to mask previous node mask.
* Changed the way IRQ0 is gettng assigned, to assign it a
separate CPU if possible rather than assigning it to a already
assigned CPU.
* Added Suggested-by tag.

V3 -> V4:
* Used for_each_numa_hop_mask() macro and simplified the code.
Thanks to Yury Norov for the suggestion.
* Added code to assign hwc irq separately in mana_gd_setup_irqs.

V2 -> V3:
* Created a helper function to get the next NUMA with CPU.
* Added some error checks for unsuccessful memory allocation.
* Fixed some comments on the code.

V1 -> V2:
* Simplified the code by removing filter_mask_list and using avail_cpus.
* Addressed infinite loop issue when there are numa nodes with no CPUs.
* Addressed uses of local numa node instead of 0 to start.
* Removed uses of BUG_ON.
* Placed cpus_read_lock in parent function to avoid num_online_cpus
to get changed before function finishes the affinity assignment.
