            Bug ID: 1418
           Summary: ice: no way to disable lsc-interrupts
           Product: DPDK
           Version: 24.03
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: other
          Assignee: dev at dpdk.org
          Reporter: robin at jarry.cc

  Target Milestone: ---

Hi all,

Apparently, the ice driver does not allow disabling lsc interrupts. Starting
testpmd with --no-lsc-interrupt gives this in the console:

testpmd> ice_interrupt_handler(): OICR: link state change event
Port 0: link state change event
ice_interrupt_handler(): OICR: link state change event
Port 1: link state change event

I tested with version 22.11 which seems not to have the issue. I found a
suspicious commit introduced in 24.03 which may be the culprit:

    net/ice: fix link update

    The ice_aq_get_link_info function is not thread-safe. However,
    it is possible to simultaneous invocations during both the dev_start
    and the LSC interrupt handler, potentially leading to unexpected adminq
    errors. This patch addresses the issue by introducing a thread-safe
    wrapper that utilizes a spinlock.
