Hello and thank you for PF_RING.

I have a problem with ZeroCopy that does not work with ZC interface label:

/opt/pfring/sbin/zbalance_ipc -i zc:eth4 -c 20 -n 14 -g 17 -m 1 -q 2048
29/Sep/2018 15:36:17 [zbalance_ipc.c:878] ERROR: pfring_zc_open_device
error [Socket operation on non-socket] Please check that zc:eth4 is up and
not already used

Without "zc" interface label it works fine:

/opt/pfring/sbin/zbalance_ipc -i eth4 -c 2 -n 14 -g 17 -m 1 -q 2048
02/Oct/2018 20:59:30 [zbalance_ipc.c:1034] Starting balancer with 14
consumer queues..
02/Oct/2018 20:59:30 [zbalance_ipc.c:1044] Run your application instances
as follows:
02/Oct/2018 20:59:30 [zbalance_ipc.c:1049]      pfcount -i zc:2@0
02/Oct/2018 20:59:30 [zbalance_ipc.c:1049]      pfcount -i zc:2@1
02/Oct/2018 20:59:30 [zbalance_ipc.c:1049]      pfcount -i zc:2@2


But it also causes an interrupt storm that consumes ksoftirqd for the
pinned CPU:

  PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU %MEM     TIME+
COMMAND

  108 root      20   0       0      0      0 R 100.0  0.0   6:19.82
ksoftirqd/16

  490 root      20   0 1171116   3204   1864 S  24.5  0.0   0:04.03
zbalance_ipc

This should not happen.  On another server with PF_RING 6.x the ZC
interface label works fine and there is no issue with ksoftirqd.

I use the standard load_driver.sh script to load the pf_ring and ixgbe
kernel modules.

What do you suggest I review ?     Many thanks.
