irqbalance runs only once; is that right?

[Andre Costa]

Hi,

I just realized that, even though /etc/sysconfig/irqbalance has

ONESHOT=

irqbalance runs only once and then bails out (at least it seems to be
gracefully). This is what happens if I try to run it by hand:

root:~# irqbalance --debug
Package 0:  cpu mask is 00000003 (workload 0)
        Cache domain 0: cpu mask is 00000003  (workload 0)
                CPU number 0  (workload 0)
                CPU number 1  (workload 0)
Interrupt 20 (class ethernet) has workload 1
Interrupt 8 (class timer) has workload 0
Interrupt 0 (class timer) has workload 0
Interrupt 17 (class storage) has workload 21
Interrupt 21 (class storage) has workload 0
Interrupt 16 (class legacy) has workload 123
Interrupt 22 (class legacy) has workload 81
Interrupt 1 (class legacy) has workload 1
Interrupt 23 (class legacy) has workload 0
Interrupt 19 (class legacy) has workload 0
Interrupt 18 (class legacy) has workload 0
Interrupt 9 (class legacy) has workload 0
Interrupt 6 (class legacy) has workload 0
Interrupt 4 (class other) has workload 0



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
IRQ delta is 1892
Package 0:  cpu mask is 00000003 (workload 1154)
        Cache domain 0: cpu mask is 00000003  (workload 1153)
                CPU number 0  (workload 508)
                  Interrupt 17 (storage/91)
                  Interrupt 22 (legacy/412)
                  Interrupt 23 (legacy/0)
                  Interrupt 18 (legacy/0)
                  Interrupt 6 (legacy/0)
                CPU number 1  (workload 645)
                  Interrupt 20 (ethernet/10)
                  Interrupt 21 (storage/8)
                  Interrupt 16 (legacy/621)
                  Interrupt 19 (legacy/0)
                  Interrupt 9 (legacy/0)
                  Interrupt 1 (legacy/0)
  Interrupt 4 (other/0)

After this, it just quits with status 0, and /var/run/irqbalance.pid is
removed.

Is this normal behavior? (manpage says it should keep balancing IRQs each
10s if ONESHOT is not set)

Version is irqbalance-0.55-9.fc9.x86_64

Regards,

Andre
