No affinity set, but they're not exactly balanced either: CPU0 CPU1 0: 73 0 IO-APIC-edge timer 1: 0 2 IO-APIC-edge i8042 2: 0 0 XT-PIC-XT cascade 8: 0 1 IO-APIC-edge rtc 12: 0 5 IO-APIC-edge i8042 25: 47 53074 IO-APIC-fasteoi eth0 26: 21 334 IO-APIC-fasteoi eth1 28: 358 1280440 IO-APIC-fasteoi eth2 Neterion 10 Gigabit Ethernet-SR PCI-X 2.0 DDR Adapter NMI: 0 0 Non-maskable interrupts LOC: 227793 227721 Local timer interrupts RES: 6483 3213 Rescheduling interrupts CAL: 40 31 function call interrupts TLB: 1119 105 TLB shootdowns TRM: 0 0 Thermal event interrupts THR: 0 0 Threshold APIC interrupts SPU: 0 0 Spurious interrupts ERR: 0 Anyhow, it looks like setting CPU affinity for the card on the receiver (echo 1 > /proc/irq/28/smp_affinity) does eliminate the reordering, at least with UDP at up to 2.5 Gbit/s (which is as fast as iperf can spit out packets on this machine). So, it looks like the "mystery" is solved :-) > > ...and maybe ifconfig on TX side? eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:FC:00:0D:3F inet addr:10.4.72.3 Bcast:10.4.72.15 Mask:255.255.255.240 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:7 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:10 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:496 (496.0 b) TX bytes:532 (532.0 b) Interrupt:28 Thanks -Tom -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
