Hi!
I am working with a custom ethernet interface and think I really need this IRQ management. Unfortunately I have not been able to get what's described here to work after quite a few hours beating my head on the desk and rereading ALL these posts several times. I've tried a number of things but I don't know much about scripting. I'm probably missing something obvious.
If someone has debugging suggestions or can tell me what other information to post here I would really appreciate it.
Code:
Architecture: x86_64
CPU(s): 8
On-line CPU(s) list: 0-7
Thread(s) per core: 2
Core(s) per socket: 4
Socket(s): 1
NUMA node(s): 1
Vendor ID: AuthenticAMD
CPU family: 23
Model: 17
Model name: AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 2400G with Radeon Vega Graphics
The obvious things:
I did install irqbalance via Synaptic. I did change IP to 10.0.0.1 two places in rt_setup.sh--that's the address in interfaces file.
What happens:
If I run rt_setup.sh it says it is creating the affinity file, and it ends up in /etc/linuxcnc as expected with permissions correct. But after restart I seem to end up with ethernet interrupts always on cpu5 where I would expect cpu7.
Code:
user1@debian2:~/linuxcnc/irq-mgmt$ sudo ./rt_setup.sh
[sudo] password for user1:
Linux debian2 4.19.0-16-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Debian 4.19.181-1 (2021-03-19) x86_64
GNU/Linux irqbalance is running AND there are more than 2 cpus - setting up policy script
The script comes up with isolcpus 6,7 in grub, which is what I determined months ago and added manually and seems like it should be correct.
Code:
linux /boot/vmlinuz-4.19.0-16-rt-amd64 root=UUID=5b220cf2-b101-424f-9abb-ee2246a65503
ro initrd=/install/gtk/initrd.gz quiet
isolcpus=6,7 intel_idle.max_cstate=1 i915.enable_rc6=0
my /etc/network/interfaces (after removing commented out lines and loopback):
Code:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*
# NEW - Lenovo Ryzen desktop PC
allow-hotplug enp8s0f0
iface enp8s0f0 inet static
address 10.0.0.1
Significant things I tried:
Running test script "pinirq_2024-05-12.txt" with parameter enp8s0f0 displays expected results. But watching interrupts stills shows the nic IRQs on cpu5.
Code:
user1@debian2:~/linuxcnc/irq-mgmt$ sudo ./pinirq enp8s0f0
Cores: 8 Old CPU Mask: 0020 Set device enp8s0f0 IRQ 61 CPU mask to 0128
I tried using NIC=`enp8s0f0` in place of both awks in rt_setup.sh but that does not work either (note the quotes I used!).
I did have loopback lines and old (commented out) iface and address lines in interfaces file. I removed them and reran everything as I'm not sure how picky that grep is.
Code:
user1@debian2:~/linuxcnc/irq-mgmt$ sudo /etc/init.d/irqbalance status -l
