x86: Increase NR_IRQS and nr_irqs
I have a system with lots of igb and ixgbe, when iov/vf are enabled for them, we hit the limit of 3064. when system has 20 pcie installed, and one card has 2 functions, and one function needs 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 kernel data size. 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 Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> LKML-Reference: <4B398ECD.1080506@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
