Subject: [PATCH 06/12] fcoe: Round-robin based selection of CPU for post-processing of incoming commands
Date: Mon, 20 Jun 2011 16:30:39 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110620233039.31635.45069.stgit@localhost6.localdomain6> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110620233007.31635.60206.stgit@localhost6.localdomain6>

From: Kiran Patil <kiran.patil@intel.com>

Problem: Earlier mechanism of selection of CPU was, to select the same CPU
which has received incoming request. Hence in case of rx_id = 0xFFFF,
request was always posted to same NetRx queue, hence only 1 CPU is utilized
for handling the command. It was also causing problem of "running out of
exchanges from per CPU pool of exchanges (in case of DDP offload)

Fix: Implemented new algo. to select CPU for post-processing of incoming commands
when rx_id is unknown. This is simple Round robin algo. for CPU selection.

Notes/Dependencies: N/A
