In the series, there is nothing describing rigorously the problem (I can
only guess) and why the proposed solution solves it.
What is your definition of an 'irq flood'? A high irq load? An irq
arriving while we are processing the previous one in the bottom halves?
The patch 2/4 description says "however IO completion is only done on
one of these submission CPU cores". That describes the bottleneck and
then the patch says "Add IRQF_RESCUE_THREAD to create one interrupt
thread handler", what is the rational between the bottleneck (problem)
and the irqf_rescue_thread (solution)?
Is it really the solution to track the irq timings to detect a flood?
