+================
+SMP IRQ affinity
+================
+
+ChangeLog:
+	- Started by Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com>
+	- Update by Max Krasnyansky <maxk@qualcomm.com>
+
+
+/proc/irq/IRQ#/smp_affinity and /proc/irq/IRQ#/smp_affinity_list specify
+which target CPUs are permitted for a given IRQ source.  It's a bitmask
+(smp_affinity) or cpu list (smp_affinity_list) of allowed CPUs.  It's not
+allowed to turn off all CPUs, and if an IRQ controller does not support
+IRQ affinity then the value will not change from the default of all cpus.
+
+/proc/irq/default_smp_affinity specifies default affinity mask that applies
+to all non-active IRQs. Once IRQ is allocated/activated its affinity bitmask
+will be set to the default mask. It can then be changed as described above.
+Default mask is 0xffffffff.
+
+Here is an example of restricting IRQ44 (eth1) to CPU0-3 then restricting
+it to CPU4-7 (this is an 8-CPU SMP box)::
+
+	[root@moon 44]# cd /proc/irq/44
+	[root@moon 44]# cat smp_affinity
+	ffffffff
+
+	[root@moon 44]# echo 0f > smp_affinity
+	[root@moon 44]# cat smp_affinity
+	0000000f
+	[root@moon 44]# ping -f h
+	PING hell (195.4.7.3): 56 data bytes
+	...
+	--- hell ping statistics ---
+	6029 packets transmitted, 6027 packets received, 0% packet loss
+	round-trip min/avg/max = 0.1/0.1/0.4 ms
+	[root@moon 44]# cat /proc/interrupts | grep 'CPU\|44:'
+		CPU0       CPU1       CPU2       CPU3      CPU4       CPU5        CPU6       CPU7
+	44:       1068       1785       1785       1783         0          0           0         0    IO-APIC-level  eth1
+
+As can be seen from the line above IRQ44 was delivered only to the first four
+processors (0-3).
+Now lets restrict that IRQ to CPU(4-7).
+
+::
+
+	[root@moon 44]# echo f0 > smp_affinity
+	[root@moon 44]# cat smp_affinity
+	000000f0
+	[root@moon 44]# ping -f h
+	PING hell (195.4.7.3): 56 data bytes
+	..
+	--- hell ping statistics ---
+	2779 packets transmitted, 2777 packets received, 0% packet loss
+	round-trip min/avg/max = 0.1/0.5/585.4 ms
+	[root@moon 44]# cat /proc/interrupts |  'CPU\|44:'
+		CPU0       CPU1       CPU2       CPU3      CPU4       CPU5        CPU6       CPU7
+	44:       1068       1785       1785       1783      1784       1069        1070       1069   IO-APIC-level  eth1
+
+This time around IRQ44 was delivered only to the last four processors.
+i.e counters for the CPU0-3 did not change.
+
+Here is an example of limiting that same irq (44) to cpus 1024 to 1031::
+
+	[root@moon 44]# echo 1024-1031 > smp_affinity_list
+	[root@moon 44]# cat smp_affinity_list
+	1024-1031
+
+Note that to do this with a bitmask would require 32 bitmasks of zero
+to follow the pertinent one.
