1、軟中斷由內核線程ksoftirqd處理,下面說一下它的創建過程。start_kernel()創建init線程，init()調用do_pre_smp_initcalls()->spawn_ksoftirqd(),spawn_ksoftirqd()分兩次調用cpu_callback()，分別使用參數CPU_UP_PREPARE和CPU_ONLINE。使用CPU_UP_PREPARE調用cpu_callback()
時，創建了ksoftirqd線程，並把task_struct指針存於per_cpu變量per_cpu(ksoftirqd,
hotcpu)中；使用CPU_ONLINE調用該函數對ksoftirqd線程進行喚醒。

      unsigned long action,
      void *hcpu)
{
int hotcpu =(unsigned long)hcpu;
 struct task_struct *p;
 switch (action){
case CPU_UP_PREPARE:
  BUG_ON(per_cpu(tasklet_vec, hotcpu).list);
  BUG_ON(per_cpu(tasklet_hi_vec, hotcpu).list);
  p = kthread_create(ksoftirqd, hcpu,"ksoftirqd/%d", hotcpu);
if(IS_ERR(p)){
   printk("ksoftirqd for %i failed\n", hotcpu);
   return NOTIFY_BAD;
}
  kthread_bind(p, hotcpu);
    per_cpu(ksoftirqd, hotcpu)= p;
   break;
case CPU_ONLINE:
  wake_up_process(per_cpu(ksoftirqd, hotcpu));
  break;
#ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
case CPU_UP_CANCELED:
/* Unbind so it can run. Fall thru.*/
  kthread_bind(per_cpu(ksoftirqd, hotcpu), smp_processor_id());
case CPU_DEAD:
  p = per_cpu(ksoftirqd, hotcpu);
  per_cpu(ksoftirqd, hotcpu)=NULL;
  kthread_stop(p);
  takeover_tasklets(hotcpu);
  break;
#endif /* CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU */
}
 return NOTIFY_OK;
}

2、從cpu的ksoftirqd線程的創建。從cpu調用start_kernel()->init()->smp_init()->cpu_up()，cpu_up()在各cpu上線前後分別調用notifier_call_chain()。

static void __init smp_init(void)
{
 unsigned int i;
/* FIXME: This should be done in userspace --RR */
 for_each_present_cpu(i){
if(num_online_cpus()>= max_cpus)
   break;
if(!cpu_online(i))
   cpu_up(i);
}
……
}
int __devinit cpu_up(unsigned int cpu)
{
 ……
//上線前調用
 ret = notifier_call_chain(&cpu_chain, CPU_UP_PREPARE, hcpu);
 ……
//等cpu上線:cpu_isset(cpu, cpu_online_map)
 ret = __cpu_up(cpu);
 ……
/*Nowcall notifier in preparation.*/
//上線後調用
 notifier_call_chain(&cpu_chain, CPU_ONLINE, hcpu);
}

//函數notifier_call_chain()以cpu標號爲參數運行cpu通知鏈上的各函數，其中包含上述spawn_ksoftirqd()中註冊的cpu_nfb。
static struct notifier_block __devinitdata cpu_nfb ={
.notifier_call = cpu_callback
};

//通知鏈元素cpu_nb上的函數cpu_callback即用來創建各非引導cpu上的ksoftirqd線程。
int notifier_call_chain(struct notifier_block **n, unsigned long val, void *v)
{
int ret=NOTIFY_DONE;
 struct notifier_block *nb =*n;
while(nb)
{
  ret=nb->notifier_call(nb,val,v);
if(ret&NOTIFY_STOP_MASK)
{
   return ret;
}
  nb=nb->next;
}
 return ret;
}
