Yes, that's sort of what's happening. /proc/interrupts shows that all CPUs overall get an even share of IRQ 0 - but each IRQ0 is processed by just one CPU. How can I examine and set the interrupt routing? -- Bernd Paysan "If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself" http://www.jwdt.com/~paysan/ [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | ||||||||||
