Sorry for repeating, now in text mode.
Is there a way to balance IRQs from a network card among Intel CPU cores
with Intel 5000 series chipset?
We tried the Broadcom network card (lspci is below) both in MSI and
io-apic mode, but found that the card interrupt may be moved to
another logical CPU, but not balanced among CPUs/cores.
Is that a policy of Intel chipset, that linux cannot overwrite? Can it
be configured
somewhere and by which tools?
Any clues and directions would be very much appreciated.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONFIG_IRQ_BALANCE=y
and with the same (2.6.9, patched) kernel irq balancing works properly
with older
Intel and with AMD HW.
#lspci -v
