Doing some tests with very high interrupt rates I've noticed that one of conditions I added in r232207 to make interrupt threads in most cases run on local CPU never worked as expected (worked only if previous time it was executed on some other CPU, that is quite opposite). It caused additional CPU usage to run full CPU search and could schedule interrupt threads to some other CPU. This patch removes that code and instead reuses existing non-interrupt code path with some tweaks for interrupt case: - On SMT systems, if current thread is idle, don't look on other threads. Even if they are busy, it may take more time to do fill search and bounce the interrupt thread to other core then execute it locally, even sharing CPU resources. It is other threads should migrate, not bound interrupts. - Try hard to keep interrupt threads within LLC of their original CPU. This improves scheduling cost and supposedly cache and memory locality. On a test system with 72 threads doing 2.2M IOPS to NVMe this saves few percents of CPU time while adding few percents to IOPS.

FreeBSD
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
