On NUMA systems, an IO device may be associated with a NUMA node.
It may improve IO performance to allocate resources, such as memory
and interrupts, from device local node.

This patch introduces a mechanism to support CPU vector allocation
policies. It tries to allocate CPU vectors from CPUs on device local
node first, and then fallback to all online(global) CPUs.

This mechanism may be used to support NumaConnect systems to allocate
CPU vectors from device local node.

Hi Thomas,
I feel this should be simpliest version now:)
Thanks!
Gerry

Testing x86/tip/apic with this patch on a 192 core/24 node NumaConnect system, all the PCIe bridge, GPU, SATA, NIC etc interrupts are allocated on the correct NUMA nodes, so it works great. Tested-by: Daniel J Blueman <daniel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Many thanks!
