The mlx4_core driver allocates 'nreq' msix vectors (and irqs), where: nreq = min_t(int, dev->caps.num_eqs - dev->caps.reserved_eqs, num_possible_cpus() + 1);
ConnectX HCAs support 512 event queues (4 reserved). On a system with enough processors, we get: mlx4_core 0006:01:00.0: Requested 508 vectors, but only 256 MSI-X vectors available, trying again Further attempts (by other drivers) to allocate interrupts fail, because mlx4_core got 'em all. How about this?
