Subject: sfc: Create one RX queue and interrupt per CPU package by default
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=aa6ef27ea906e74bd23d14f43f095c012469d9c7;p=linux-beck.git

sfc: Create one RX queue and interrupt per CPU package by default

Using multiple cores in the same package to handle received traffic
does not appear to provide a performance benefit.  Therefore use CPU
topology information to count CPU packages and use that as the default
number of RX queues and interrupts.  We rely on interrupt balancing to
spread the interrupts across packages.
