sparc64: fix and optimize irq distribution irq_choose_cpu() should compare the affinity mask against cpu_online_map rather than CPU_MASK_ALL, since irq_select_affinity() sets the interrupt's affinity mask to cpu_online_map "and" CPU_MASK_ALL (which ends up being just cpu_online_map). The mask comparison in irq_choose_cpu() will always fail since the two masks are not the same. So the CPU chosen is the first CPU in the intersection of cpu_online_map and CPU_MASK_ALL, which is always CPU0. That means all interrupts are reassigned to CPU0... Distributing interrupts to CPUs in a linearly increasing round robin fashion is not optimal for the UltraSPARC T1/T2. Also, the irq_rover in irq_choose_cpu() causes an interrupt to be assigned to a different processor each time the interrupt is allocated and released. This may lead to an unbalanced distribution over time. A static mapping of interrupts to processors is done to optimize and balance interrupt distribution. For the T1/T2, interrupts are spread to different cores first, and then to strands within a core. The following is some benchmarks showing the effects of interrupt distribution on a T2. The test was done with iperf using a pair of T5220 boxes, each with a 10GBe NIU (XAUI) connected back to back.
