- 03:41, 19 February 2023 MSI (hist | edit) [709 bytes] Dank (talk | contribs) (Created page with "Message-signaled interrupts were introduced in PCI 2.2, and are present in all versions of PCIe. Rather than a distinct physical hardware line for interrupt delivery, MSIs are in-band. This cuts down on interconnect complexity, allows for multiple distinct interrupts per device (up to 32, though Windows supports only 16), and eliminates a performance hit previously necessary for DMA coherency. MSI-X, introduced in PCIe 3.0, allows up to 2048 interrupt numbers per device...")
- 03:30, 19 February 2023 RSS (hist | edit) [1,291 bytes] Dank (talk | contribs) (Created page with "Receiver-Side Scaling is a function of some NICs where traffic is divided into one or more hardware RX queues, each with their own MSI. These MSI numbers can then be associated with different cores, creating parallelism in network interrupt handling. If the device must not reorder traffic within a flow, it is generally necessary that all packets from the same flow hit the same core, so the RX queue is typically chosen via a hash over the L3 and L4 addresses. This mea...")

- 19:37, 6 February 2023 NAPI (hist | edit) [681 bytes] Dank (talk | contribs) (Created page with "The "New API" for Linux NIC drivers introduced around 2001, NAPI is initiated by a NIC's hardware interrupt, but then disables interrupts and polls the card for a period. This can significantly reduce the CPU load compared to a pure interrupt-driven solution. NAPI largely obsoletes the "interrupt coalescing" features of some NICs. It is strictly receive-side. ==The NAPI path== A NIC has some number of hardware RX queues, each of which is mapped to an interrupt number an...")

Control Groups v2 were unveiled in Linux 4.5 as a means of controlling resource allocation across groups of tasks. Unlike the previous implementation of control groups (introduced in Linux 2.6.24), these cgroups would be under a single hierarchy, usually mounted with a <tt>cgroup2</tt>-type virtual filesystem at <tt>/sys/fs/cgroup</tt>. systemd makes fundamental use of cgroups (and indeed, last I checked it couldn't run without them...")
