An issue has been observed where epoll file descriptor list rebuilds every time an interrupt/alarm event is received.
eal_intr_process_interrupts() should notify pipe fd only if any source is removed from the source list i.e (rv > 0) Fixes: 0c7ce182a760 ("eal: add pending interrupt callback unregister") Cc: sta...@dpdk.org Signed-off-by: Harman Kalra <hka...@marvell.com> --- *V2: missing closing bracket in Fixes tag in V1 lib/librte_eal/linux/eal_interrupts.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/lib/librte_eal/linux/eal_interrupts.c b/lib/librte_eal/linux/eal_interrupts.c index 16e7a7d51..84eeaa1bc 100644 --- a/lib/librte_eal/linux/eal_interrupts.c +++ b/lib/librte_eal/linux/eal_interrupts.c @@ -1010,7 +1010,7 @@ eal_intr_process_interrupts(struct epoll_event *events, int nfds) } /* notify the pipe fd waited by epoll_wait to rebuild the wait list */ - if (rv >= 0 && write(intr_pipe.writefd, "1", 1) < 0) { + if (rv > 0 && write(intr_pipe.writefd, "1", 1) < 0) { rte_spinlock_unlock(&intr_lock); return -EPIPE; } -- 2.18.0
