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.

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.
s/stumbed/stumbled/
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?
