SubjectRe: [RFC] The meaning of local_cpulist and local_cpus
Thankyou .
But I still can not understand what is the meaning of cuplist.

my system:/$ cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/local_cpulist
the result is '0-7',

I just don't konw what are they represent .Could you give me more
detailed information about local_cpulist and local_cpus,and their
relations.
