Try programming the CPU-irq affinity by writing to /proc/irq/<irq-number>/smp_affinity For example masks for irqs could be : irq 97 - 0x1 99 - 0x2 103 - 0x4 104 - 0x8 That way, you are hardcoding on which cpu the particular irqs should land.

Hi, everyone
The interrupts of my ixgbevf driver occurs only Core 0 although the user space "irqbalance" serivce is working.
How can I distribute the interrupt of RX in ixgbevf to all cores? Is there any kernel compile option for it ?
cat /proc/interrupts | grep "isv" 97: 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 PCI-MSI-edge isv0-rx-0 99: 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 PCI-MSI-edge isv0:lsc 103: 2059 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 PCI-MSI-edge isv2-rx-0 104: 14 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 PCI-MSI-edge isv2-tx-0 105: 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 PCI-MSI-edge isv2:mbx
"isv" is netdevice name of my ixgbevf.
Thanks in advance.
