[PATCH -v2] x86: increase NR_IRQS and nr_irqs

From: Yinghai Lu
Date: Tue Dec 29 2009 - 00:13:47 EST




have a system with lots of igb and ixgbe, when iov/vf are enabled for
them, we hit the limit of 3064.

when system have 20 pcie installed, and one card have 2 functions, and one
function need 64 msi-x,
may need 20 * 2 * 64 = 2560 for msi-x
but if iov and vf are enabled
may need 20 * 2 * 64 * 3 = 7680 for msi-x
assume system with 5 ioapic, nr_irqs_gsi will be 120.
NR_CPUS = 512, and nr_cpu_ids = 128
will have NR_IRQS = 256 + 512 * 64 = 33024
will have nr_irqs = 120 + 8 * 128 + 120 * 64 = 8824

when SPARSE_IRQ is not set, there is no increase with data
when NR_CPUS=128, and SPARSE_IRQ is set
text data bss dec hex filename
21837444 4216564 12480736 38534744 24bfe58 vmlinux.before
21837442 4216580 12480736 38534758 24bfe66 vmlinux.after
when NR_CPUS=4096, and SPARSE_IRQ is set
text data bss dec hex filename
21878619 5610244 13415392 40904255 270263f vmlinux.before
21878617 5610244 13415392 40904253 270263d vmlinux.after

-v2: update comments to address Ingo's concern
