Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== mlx5-updates-2023-03-20 mlx5 dynamic msix This patch series adds support for dynamic msix vectors allocation in mlx5. Eli Cohen Says: ================ The following series of patches modifies mlx5_core to work with the dynamic MSIX API. Currently, mlx5_core allocates all the interrupt vectors it needs and distributes them amongst the consumers. With the introduction of dynamic MSIX support, which allows for allocation of interrupts more than once, we now allocate vectors as we need them. This allows other drivers running on top of mlx5_core to allocate interrupt vectors for their own use. An example for this is mlx5_vdpa, which uses these vectors to propagate interrupts directly from the hardware to the vCPU [1]. As a preparation for using this series, a use after free issue is fixed in lib/cpu_rmap.c and the allocator for rmap entries has been modified. A complementary API for irq_cpu_rmap_add() has also been introduced.
