Problem solved: To enable MSI -> eventfd signalling we had to set the
bus master enable bit in PCI config space (bit 2 at offset 4).
Thanks!

any read by

int ret = read(msifd,&value,sizeof(value));
should acknowledge the MSI, right? Or did I miss something?
What do you mean by "acknowledge"? This effectively acknowledges the
eventfd, but it's up to your driver to service the hardware upon
receiving the eventfd notification. The eventfd is only the signaling
mechanism. Thanks,
Alex
