From 2fb9d2063626374dd8a2514b3a730facac8235d8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Thu, 5 Jan 2006 14:05:29 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] spufs: set irq affinity for running threads For far, all SPU triggered interrupts always end up on the first SMT thread, which is a bad solution. This patch implements setting the affinity to the CPU that was running last when entering execution on an SPU. This should result in a significant reduction in IPI calls and better cache locality for SPE thread specific data.
