Just for the record, all tests you've run are with the upper irq_poll_budget of 256 [1]?Yes, but that's the point, I never ever reach this budget because I'm only processing 1-2 completions per interrupt.quoted
We (Hannes and me) recently stumbed accross this when trying to poll for more than 256 queue entries in the drivers we've been testing.

What do you mean by stumbed? irq-poll should be agnostic to the fact that drivers can poll more than their given budget?
So what you say is you saw a consomed == 1 [1] most of the time?
