[PATCH] nvme/tcp: Add wq_unbound modparam for nvme_tcp_wq

Li Feng fengli at smartx.com
Wed Mar 13 01:55:17 PDT 2024


The default nvme_tcp_wq will use all CPUs to process tasks. Sometimes it is
necessary to set CPU affinity to improve performance.

A new module parameter wq_unbound is added here. If set to true, users can
configure cpu affinity through
/sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/nvme_tcp_wq/cpumask.
