I wonder why valgrind is giving this false report.
The only place this data structure is used is here, and all fields
in epoll_event are correctly set.
TAILQ_FOREACH(src, &intr_sources, next) {
if (src->callbacks.tqh_first == NULL)
continue; /* skip those with no callbacks */
ev.events = EPOLLIN | EPOLLPRI;
ev.data.fd = src->intr_handle.fd;
/**
* add all the uio device file descriptor
* into wait list.
*/
if (epoll_ctl(pfd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD,
src->intr_handle.fd, &ev) < 0){
rte_panic("Error adding fd %d epoll_ctl, %s\n",
src->intr_handle.fd, strerror(errno));
A better patch would be to move the data structure into the
code block used, and get rid of the useless else (rte_panic never returns);
and fix the indentation, and use C99 initialization which should make valgrind
happier.
The moral is don't just slap memsets around
