Let's consider this topology:
Node 0 1
Core 0 1 2 3
CPU 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Before
IRQ Nodes Cores CPUs
0 1 0 0
1 1 1 2
2 1 0 1
3 1 1 3
4 2 2 4
5 2 3 6
6 2 2 5
7 2 3 7
Now
IRQ Nodes Cores CPUs
0 1 0 0-1
1 1 1 2-3
2 1 0 0-1
3 1 1 2-3
4 2 2 4-5
5 2 3 6-7
6 2 2 4-5
7 2 3 6-7

I have used ntttcp for performance analysis, by perf I had meant performance
analysis. I have used ntttcp with following parameters
ntttcp -r -m 64 <receiver>
ntttcp -s <receiver side ip address> -m 64 <sender>
Both the VMs are in same Azure subnet and private IP address is used.
MTU and tcp buffer is set accordingly and number of channels are set using ethtool
accordingly for best performance. Also irqbalance was disabled.

This is the local numa node, from where to start hopping.
Please see how we are calling irq_setup(). We are passing the array of allocated irqs, total
number of irqs allocated, and the local numa node to the device.

Will fix it in next version. Thanks for pointing.

irq_setup() is a helper function for mana_gd_setup_irqs(), which already takes
care of no NULL pointer for irqs, and 0 number of interrupts can not be passed.
nvec = pci_alloc_irq_vectors(pdev, 2, max_irqs, PCI_IRQ_MSIX);
if (nvec < 0)
return nvec;

The reason I have picked cpumask_local_spread here, is that, the gc->numa_node
can be a memory only node, in that case we need to jump to next node to get the CPU.
Which cpumask_local_spread() using sched_numa_find_nth_cpu() takes care off.
