Thank you for pointing this out. Yes, I know most existing drivers will fallback to use single msi or legacy irqs when failed. However, as I replied in another thread (the new solution of this problem [1]), we want to do some proactive throttling rather than consume msi vectors aggressively. For example, if we have two NICs, we want both of them to get 32 msi vectors; not one exhaust all available vectors, and the other fallback to use single msi or legacy irq. I hope I have explained clearly, thanks.
