Thanks Roy! I'm afraid I was too distracted with other things at the time to look to see if I could identify which device might have accounted for the extra interrupts. I kind of assumed they were all from the console driver, though I just did a test and now realize that even at full speed it can't account for nearly the magnitude of interrupts per second that I was seeing. During normal operation I see just over 8000/s (and with the console spewing there are only about 200/s more), and it all seems to add up since this is an 8-vcpu domU, and I have HZ=1000. Before I rebooted I was seeing numbers ranging up to 25000/s. So, what in the world could make either the single xennet0 interface, or the lo0 interface for that matter, bounce in such a fashion I wonder. As far as I can tell from old console log files this did not happen in the first few years of life of this system (from about 2015) when it (and its dom0) was running 7.99.various. -- Greg A.
