AS 2.1: 2.4.9-e.10.7 kernel: Does not have affinity APIs. Can have performance implications, especially with HT. ---------- Action by: venkateshpallipadi Issue Registered THIS IS ISSUE TRACKER 14564, TAKEN OUT BY INTEL AS A SEVERITY 2. Copying Arjan at Larry Woodman's request.
this sounds like exactly the kind of thing we don't do for AS2.1: change ABI/API's just for performance. While it might be possible to do without breaking the kernel ABI (would need to be checked) it's an enhancement that isn't worth changing the userspace interface imo. (it's not like it's a 3x performance improvement)
Per comments here, I believe this Bug should be RESOLVED for AS2.1 as DEFERRED and let Sue Denham handle it as Feature Tracker item for Taroon (3.0)
