Subject: [net-next-2.6 PATCH 1/3] irq: Export irq_set_affinity() for drivers
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2009 19:26:53 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091021022626.32449.73883.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

From: Peter P Waskiewicz Jr <peter.p.waskiewicz.jr@intel.com>

This patch allows drivers to specify an IRQ affinity mask for
their respective interrupt sources.  This is very useful on
network adapters using MSI-X, where aligning network flows
linearly to CPUs greatly improves efficiency of the network
stack.

Today, users must either hand-set affinity through /proc, or
use a script through the same interface.  This patch will allow
a driver to come completely pre-canned with an optimal
configuration.
