Subject: Mellanox interrupts are not load balanced
Hi,
I am running centos 7.7 VM in azure with Mellanox (mlx5_core) driver for NIC. It is running customized 3.10.0-1062.18.1.el7 kernel image with some minor changes in net directory.
It has created as many queues and irqs as the number of CPUs in VM but all the interrupts are being processed by CPU0 only. Irqbalance service is also running and smp_affinity is set differently for different irqs. I tried setting it manually after stopping the irqbalance service but still all the interrupts were targeted to CPU0 as can be seen from below output.

Mellanox driver version is :
version: 5.0-0
license: Dual BSD/GPL
description: Mellanox 5th generation network adapters (ConnectX series) core driver
author: Eli Cohen <eli@...lanox.com>
rhelversion: 7.7
srcversion: 7D9FFD656B0EB1000804CB2
Same kernel with different NIC driver (in AWS) and igb driver in physical server works fine.
I tried centos7.9 (3.10.0-1160.76.1.el7) available in Azure market place and there I don't see the issue.
Please help in debugging/resolving this issue.
