Hi, Tonghao & Beilei The issue reported by Tonghao is caused by shortage of igb_uio. If you want to use Rx queue interrupt in your DPDK application, I suggest use VFIO-PCI to bind NIC port instead of igb_uio.
Currently igb_uio only support single event fd. This fd is triggered by both miscellaneous and RX queue interrupt in ixgbe VF. But same event fd is added to epoll fd of eal-intr-thread and also epoll fd of normal thread for Rx task, this cause the issue. If VFIO-PCI is used, different event fd for misc and Rx queue are created. By the way, your patch also lead to missing of PF to VF reset interrupt. So, I am sorry that I can't agree it now. > -----Original Message----- > From: dev [mailto:dev-boun...@dpdk.org] On Behalf Of > xiangxia.m....@gmail.com > Sent: Friday, January 12, 2018 12:40 AM > To: Xing, Beilei <beilei.x...@intel.com>; dev@dpdk.org > Cc: Tonghao Zhang <xiangxia.m....@gmail.com> > Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/4] net/ixgbevf: unregister irq handler when > other interrupts not allowed. > > From: Tonghao Zhang <xiangxia.m....@gmail.com> > > When bind the ixgbe VF (e.g 82599 card) to igb_uio and enable the > rx-interrupt, there will be more than one epoll_wait on intr_handle.fd. > One is in "eal-intr-thread" thread, and the others are in the thread which > call > the "rte_epoll_wait".
