Alexander Duyck 780e354dcd ixgbe: Make use of cpumask_local_spread to improve RSS locality
This patch is meant to address locality issues present in the ixgbe driver
when it is loaded on a system supporting multiple NUMA nodes and more CPUs
then the device can map in a 1:1 fashion. Instead of just arbitrarily
mapping itself to CPUs 0-62 it would make much more sense to map itself to
the local CPUs first, and then map itself to any remaining CPUs that might
be used.

The first effect of this is that queue 0 should always be allocated on the
local CPU/NUMA node. This is important as it is the default destination if
a packet doesn't match any existing flow director filter or RSS rule and as
such having it local should help to reduce QPI cross-talk in the event of
an unrecognized traffic type.

In addition this should increase the likelihood of the RSS queues being
allocated and used on CPUs local to the device while the ATR/Flow Director
queues would be able to route traffic directly to the CPU that is likely to
be processing it.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
