A few general comments: - best UI is no UI - the kernel should distribute interrupts automatically (if possible) as fair as possible over time doiing some statistics
I agree the computer should distribute interrupts automatically, but I think balancing interrupts is too complex for the kernel. So I think the balancing should be done by the userland daemon which use the UI. Implementing and tuning the userland daemon are future works.
- a UI to wire some device interrupts to a special CPU would be ok, I prefer a new intrctrl for that - vmstat -i could gain an additional column with the current target cpu of the interrupt
I am afraid of breaking backward compatibility, so I avoid to change existing commands.
- the device name is nice, but what about shared interrupts?
I forgot shared interrupts... In the current implement, the device name is overwritten by the device established later. Of course this is ugly, so I must fix it.
