Subject: 2.6.0 kernel: Bind interrupt question.







Have you seen any problems with interrupt binding on 2.6.0-drv45003 ?
I tried this command to bind interrupt, but it does not work:
============================
cat /proc/irq/165/smp_affinity
ffffffff00000000
echo 01 > /proc/irq/165/smp_affinity
cat /proc/irq/165/smp_affinity
ffffffff00000000
===========================
There is nothing changed after binding.
One thing I see is it shows 16 digits "ffffffff00000000" on 2.6.0 while
only 8 digits in 2.4 .
Do I need any special ways to bind interrupt ?


Thanks.,

This is probably a ppc64 specific issue, we can continue this on

Its part of the support for > 32way machines, but it looks like its
broken for some configurations (Im guessing you have CONFIG_NR_CPUS set
to 32).

Is your architecure broken?

Works fine on x86:
root@foo:/proc/irq# cat 17/smp_affinity
ffffffff
root@foo:/proc/irq# echo 1 > 17/smp_affinity
root@foo:/proc/irq# cat 17/smp_affinity
00010000

Anton,
You're right. By defaut, the CONFIG_NR_CPUS is set to 32.
I need to reset that and rebuild the kernel to try the interrupt binding
again.
Thanks,

There was a fix which went in for something similar on i386 a while back.

And here is a link; PPC64 appears to have the older version
