Subject: [RFC 1/3] eal/linux: do not warn when freeing interrupt source copy
Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2026 13:35:03 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261017203621.3136254-2-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261017203621.3136254-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>
The interrupt source keeps a copy of the caller's handle made with
rte_intr_instance_dup(). The copy carries the caller's fd and dev_fd,
which it does not own. Freeing it on callback unregister now logs a
bogus FD leak warning.
Clear the fds in the copy before freeing it.
Fixes: d770ee9caed0 ("interrupts: warn on leaked FDs")
Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>
