[RFC PATCH v2 0/1] scsi: mpi3mr: Introduce smp_affinity_enable module parameter
Posted by Aaron Tomlin 8 months, 1 week ago
I noticed that the Linux MegaRAID driver for SAS based RAID controllers has
the same aforementioned module parameter. Despite the potential performance
drawbacks, I suspect it would be useful with the Broadcom MPI3 Storage
Controller Driver too, to respect the default IRQ affinity.
Please let me know your thoughts.

Changes since v1 [1]
 - Addressed WARN_ON() in pci_alloc_irq_vectors_affinity()
   due to affd != NULL when smp_affinity_enable = 0
 - Avoid unnecessary complexity for a single queue
