[PATCH] x86/x86_64: deferred handling of writes to /proc/irqxx/smp_affinity
When handling writes to /proc/irq, current code is re-programming rte
entries directly. This is not recommended and could potentially cause
chipset's to lockup, or cause missing interrupts.
CONFIG_IRQ_BALANCE does this correctly, where it re-programs only when the
interrupt is pending. The same needs to be done for /proc/irq handling as well.
Otherwise user space irq balancers are really not doing the right thing.
- Changed pending_irq_balance_cpumask to pending_irq_migrate_cpumask for
lack of a generic name.
- added move_irq out of IRQ_BALANCE, and added this same to X86_64
- Added new proc handler for write, so we can do deferred write at irq
handling time.
- Display of /proc/irq/XX/smp_affinity used to display CPU_MASKALL, instead
it now shows only active cpu masks, or exactly what was set.
- Provided a common move_irq implementation, instead of duplicating
when using generic irq framework.
Tested on i386/x86_64 and ia64 with CONFIG_PCI_MSI turned on and off.
Tested UP builds as well.
MSI testing: tbd: I have cards, need to look for a x-over cable, although I
did test an earlier version of this patch. Will test in a couple days.

[PATCH] Invert sense of SLB class bit
Currently, we set the class bit in kernel SLB entries, and clear it on
user SLB entries. On POWER5, ERAT entries created in real mode have
the class bit clear. So to avoid flushing kernel ERAT entries on each
context switch, this patch inverts our usage of the class bit, setting
it on user SLB entries and clearing it on kernel SLB entries.
Booted on POWER5 and G5.

Since the poll list is per-cpu, tg3_poll() will be scheduled to run on

and the next rx descriptors are added in tg3_msi() to improve their
access times when tg3_poll() runs.

This patch moves that skew into the declaration, and out of the

declarative skew is clearer, less error-prone, and more efficient.
The use of 11+offset-4 below reflects the fact that the sysfs numbering
of these units is 4, 5, 6, but they use internal VLM units 11, 12, 13 to
measure the thermistor voltages.
