It seems like the environment for which irqbalance was originally designed to optimise was high-interrupt-rate workloads [1].
But, with NAPI, multiple queues, threaded/split handlers, TCP offload, interrupt moderation, RDMA etc, does anyone know it to be beneficial in servers over the default kernel MSI vector setup? I can see it only being beneficial in certain specific circumstances (eg metro VoIP router) and perhaps that's application dependent at that.
Thanks, Daniel
