Hi Stephen,

When merging this patch, I realized it's not complete:
an occurence of the msix_entries array is remaining.
See the regarding part of your patch and my proposal below
to be merged in this patch.

Proposed changes:
- udev->info.irq need to be set with msix_entry
- udev->mode is already the legacy one by default


 		if (pci_enable_msix(udev->pdev, &msix_entry, 1) == 0) {
 			udev->mode = RTE_INTR_MODE_MSIX;
-		} else {
+			udev->info.irq = msix_entry.vector;
+			udev->info.irq_flags = 0;
+		} else
 			pr_err("failed to enable pci msix, or not enough msix entries\n");
-			udev->mode = IGBUIO_LEGACY_INTR_MODE;
-		}
 	}
-	switch (udev->mode) {
-	case RTE_INTR_MODE_MSIX:
-		udev->info.irq_flags = 0;
-		udev->info.irq = udev->msix_entries[0].vector;
-		break;
-	case RTE_INTR_MODE_MSI:
-		break;
-	case RTE_INTR_MODE_LEGACY:
+	if (udev->mode == RTE_INTR_MODE_LEGACY) {
 		udev->info.irq_flags = IRQF_SHARED;
 		udev->info.irq = dev->irq;
-		break;
-	default:
-		break;
 	}


Please confirm it's ok for you.
