For CPU Lock up we need irq poll interface to quit from ISR loop of > the driver. Actually after this patchset starts working, the request's completion is done basically on the submission CPU. Seems all CPU shouldn't have been overloaded, given your system has so many msix irq vectors and enough CPU cores. I am interested in this problem too, but I think we have to fix the io accounting issue first. Once the accounting issue(which may cause too much CPU consumed up in interrupt handler) is fixed, let's see if there is still the lockup issue. If there is, 'perf' may tell us something. But from your previous perf trace, looks only the accounting symbols are listed in hot path. Thanks, Ming
