AFAICS, this involves either changing the code of /sbin/init to set its affinity to a default cpu mask (provided by a kernel boot flag, I presume), or using taskset-like functionality and then hoping that all current shells etc. die before the programs I care about start. Would it not be better to simply have the kernel use the boot flag directly as the default CPU mask setting? [ I can see the argument that "if you need such control, you should set up your distro to deal with it", but that is a level of tweaking I would like to avoid for my customers ] Thanks, Shaheed - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
