[patch v2 11/14] [RFC] genirq: Cache target CPU for single CPU affinities
From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Fri Mar 20 2026 - 09:25:44 EST
Some places can be optimized by caching the target CPU for single CPU
affinities. That avoids finding the single CPU in the effective affinity
mask. Provide infrastructure for that.
