operating system - what does mellanox interrupt mlx4-async@pci:0000 ... means? -
i'm using infiniband mellanox card [connectx vpi pcie 2.0 5gt/s - ib qdr / 10gige]
ofed version 4-1.0.0 on ubuntu 3.13.0 running on x86_64 computer 4 cores.
here result of ibstat
on computer
ca 'mlx4_0' ca type: mt26428 number of ports: 1 firmware version: 2.8.600 hardware version: b0 node guid: 0x0002c903004d58ee system image guid: 0x0002c903004d58f1 port 1: state: active physical state: linkup rate: 40 base lid: 1 lmc: 0 sm lid: 1 capability mask: 0x02510868 port guid: 0x0002c903004d58ef link layer: infiniband
and /proc/interrupts

i read each mlx4_0-x
interrupts associated each cpu. question : first interrupt mlx4-async@pci:0000:01:00.0
means ? experiment when opensm
deamon not yet running, interrupt occur every 5 minutes.
mlx4-async used asynchronous events other completion events, e.g. link events, catastrophic events, cq overrun, etc.
the interrupt handled adapter driver , depending on event different modules activated, such link event notifications or cleanups due asynchronous errors.
