[PATCH 4/4 net-next] net: mana: Assigning IRQ affinity on HT cores

From: Souradeep Chakrabarti
Date: Tue Jan 09 2024 - 05:53:29 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.

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 against existing design and
approximately 11 percent, when trying to assign one IRQ in each core
across NUMA nodes, if enough cores are present.
