When you say "multiple times", it is several, or a lot more?

Maybe it is NAPI?

The system would run out of the ~1000 available GSIs in a minute or two
with just an e1000e available to the guest.  So that's something on the
order of 10/s.  This also causes a printk in the host ever time the
interrupt in enabled, which can't help performance and gets pretty
annoying for syslog.  I was guessing some kind of interrupt mitigation,
such as NAPI, but a qlogic FC card seems to do it too (seemingly at a
slower rate).

I see. And what is the path by which it is disabled? The mask bit in the MSI entry?

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
