If the NIC is gldv3-based, you can enable soft rings. Set
ip_squeue_fanout to 1, unplumb
and plumb the interface back up again. That would configure soft rings.
By default, 2
soft rings are used. Soft rings would spread the incoming load to 2 CPUs
if 2 rings are
configured.
Is this only for interrupts, or does this apply to the stack as well.
I understood there would be an squeue per CPU, and connections are
'bound' to an squeue. So stack processing would be distributed even if
non-GLDv3 NICs are used?
On my simple test it was hard to tell. The x4100 was doing a lot of
xcalls as well as interrupts, so it was difficult to see where the CPU
cycles went.
Thanks
