Hi,

We have an OVA which may run on systems support or not support interrupt in guest VM.

When enable vmxnets interrupt in guest VM that does not support interrupt, dpdk crashes:

#0  __GI_raise (sig=sig@entry=6) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:50

#1  0x00007f8aac398859 in __GI_abort () at abort.c:79

#7  0x00007f8a6b20de60 in rte_eth_dev_rx_intr_enable () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/vpp_plugins/dpdk_plugin.so

Is there a way to make dpdk fall back to disable interrupt (rather than crash) in this case?

Thanks,

Bin
