boardversion - board version

sdma<N>/ - one directory per sdma engine (0 - 15)

sdma<N>/cpu_list - read-write, list of cpus for user-process to sdma
|
||||
engine assignment.
|
||||
sdma<N>/vl - read-only, vl the sdma engine maps to.
|
||||
|
||||
The new interface will give the user control on the affinity settings
|
||||
for the hfi1 device.
|
||||
As an example, to set an sdma engine irq affinity and thread affinity
|
||||
of a user processes to use the sdma engine, which is "near" in terms
|
||||
of NUMA configuration, or physical cpu location, the user will do:
|
||||
|
||||
echo "3" > /proc/irq/<N>/smp_affinity_list
|
||||
echo "4-7" > /sys/devices/.../sdma3/cpu_list
|
||||
cat /sys/devices/.../sdma3/vl
|
||||
0
|
||||
echo "8" > /proc/irq/<M>/smp_affinity_list
|
||||
echo "9-12" > /sys/devices/.../sdma4/cpu_list
|
||||
cat /sys/devices/.../sdma4/vl
|
||||
1
|
||||
|
||||
to make sure that when a process runs on cpus 4,5,6, or 7,
|
||||
and uses vl=0, then sdma engine 3 is selected by the driver,
|
||||
and also the interrupt of the sdma engine 3 is steered to cpu 3.
|
||||
Similarly, when a process runs on cpus 9,10,11, or 12 and sets vl=1,
|
||||
then engine 4 will be selected and the irq of the sdma engine 4 is
|
||||
steered to cpu 8.
|
||||
This assumes that in the above N is the irq number of "sdma3",
|
||||
and M is irq number of "sdma4" in the /proc/interrupts file.
