These 2 bugs can be observed from example/l3fwd-power run with i40e VF
bound to VFIO-PCI. The test steps are as follows:
1. Disable LSC interrupt by clearing port_conf.intr_conf.lsc=0, as i40e
VF doesn't support LSC interrupt to avoid rte_eth_dev_configure() failure.
2. Create a VF from i40e host PF. Let PF run with kernel driver and bind
its VF to VFIO-PCI
3. Run l3fwd-power like: l3fwd-power -l 18-19 -- -p 0x1 --config='(0,0,19)'
Then, the following error message appears like:
EAL: Error enabling MSI-X interrupts for fd 18
This error is from rte_intr_enable( )/vfio_enable_msix( ) when enabling
Rx queue interrupt.
Same as the patch 06938770186a ("net/ixgbe: fix VFIO interrupt mapping in VF"),
to change VFIO MSI-X interrupts mapping, previous mapping should be cleared
first to avoid above error.
After fixing above VFIO-PCI MSI-X interrupt mapping. There is still the
following
2nd bug: l3fwd-power still can not be waked up by incoming packets.
Same as the patch ca9d6597184b ("net/ixgbe: fix Rx queue interrupt mapping in
VF"),
the interrupt vector of Rx queues should be mapped to vector 1 to fix above 2nd
bug.
