Neil Horman 9f7b1a9315 fix balancing when numa information isn't available
Discovered a bug in which, when numa isn't available we failed to assign
the unspecified node to the device tree, leading us to not balance any
interrupts.  Make sure it gets added so irq get parsed down through the
tree to the proper topology node

What is Irqbalance

Irqbalance is a daemon to help balance the cpu load generated by interrupts across all of a systems cpus. Irqbalance identifies the highest volume interrupt sources, and isolates them to a single unique cpu, so that load is spread as much as possible over an entire processor set, while minimizing cache miss rates for irq handlers.

Building and Installing Build Status

./autogen.sh
./configure [options]

Developing Irqbalance

Irqbalance is currently hosted on github, and so developers are welcome to use the issue/pull request/etc infrastructure found there. However, most development discussions take place on the irqbalance mailing list, which can be subscribed to at: http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/irqbalance

New Developers are encouraged to use this mailing list to discuss ideas and propose patches.

Bug reporting

When something goes wrong, feel free to send us bugreport by one of the ways described above. Your report should include:

  • Irqbalance version you've been using (or commit hash)
  • /proc/interrupts output
  • irqbalance --debug output
  • content of smp_affinity files - can be obtained by e.g.: $ for i in $(seq 0 300); do grep . /proc/irq/$i/smp_affinity /dev/null 2>/dev/null; done
  • your hw hierarchy - e.g. lstopo-no-graphics output
