When we bind the ixgbe VF (e.g 82599 card) to igb_uio and enable the rx-interrupt, there will be more than one epoll_wait on intr_handle.fd. One is in "eal-intr-thread" thread, and the others are in the thread which call the "rte_epoll_wait". The problem is that sometiems "eal-intr-thread" thread will process the rx interrupt, and then rte_epoll_wait can't get the event any more, and the packets may be lost.
We should unregister the status interrupt handler in "eal-intr-thread" thread and the ixgbe pf is in the same case.
