Description: Each path belonging to a given session is listed here by its source and
destination address. When a new path is added to a session by writing to
the "add_path" entry, a directory <src@dst> is created.

Description: RTRS expects that each HCA IRQ is pinned to a separate CPU. If it's
not the case, the processing of an I/O response could be processed on a
different CPU than where it was originally submitted. This file shows
how many interrupts where generated on a non expected CPU.
"from:"
is the CPU on which the IRQ was expected, but not generated.
"to:"
is the CPU on which the IRQ was generated, but not expected.
