We're working on interrupt/CPU scalability for vmxnet3s that relies on MSI-X (which is already being used reliably by the current driver which uses one per device). I would say that disabling MSI-X for the entire platform would be a non-starter from our perspective. -Seb ------------------------------------------- illumos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/182180/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/182180/21175430-2e6923be Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21175430&id_secret=21175430-6a77cda4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
