Hmm, the results with "scaling" on are not that unexpected, since the idea of scheduling a thread round-robin (to kill all cache locality) is pretty dubious anyway. I would like to understand why there's a throughput difference with scaling turned off, since the NAPI code doesn't change the interrupt handling all that much, and should lower the CPU usage if anything. Does changing the netdev weight value affect anything? - R. _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
