These patches are to fix some issues with epoll event handling for
EPOLLERR/EPOLLRDHUP/EPOLLHUP.
1/3: handles these disconnect/error events for interrupts that are read
in eal
2/3: provides an internal API for interrupt callbacks to get the interrupt
events for the active interrupt
3/3: deal with the observed issue as reported in
https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1873 where mlx5 devx interrupts
cause a busy-loop and 100% CPU of dpdk-intr thread.
v5:
- 2/3 changed API to rte_intr_active_event_flags() and made internal.
used RTE_BIT32() for defines. Added Cc: stable. Kept Acks as no
functional changes.
v4:
Updated to allow for case where devx interrupt handler may handle
multiple completions during one interrupt call, leading to no data being
read in a subsequent call as flagged by Slava.
- 1/3 No change
- 2/3 New API rte_intr_active_events() to get interrupt events
- 3/3 Use new API in mlx5 devx interrupt handler to detect if
disconnect/error events and if so unregister the callback
v3:
- 1/2 and 2/2 fix some coding nits (Stephen/AI/David)
- 2/2 Make log level consistant (David)
v2:
- Only handle disconnect/error epoll events when the read is done in eal
interrupt code. This is to allow interrupt handlers like virtio deal
with disconnects in an appropriate
- Detect if not data is read in the mlx dex interrupt and if so unregister
the callback
Kevin Traynor (3):
eal/linux: handle interrupt epoll events
eal/interrupt: add interrupt event info
net/mlx5: check devx disconnect/error interrupt events
