> positioning analysis, it is found that the vf and pf command interaction is
> completed through the iavf_execute_vf_cmd function.
> After the message is sent, it needs to wait for the interrupt thread to obtain
> the response from the PF. For the data, the rte_delay_ms interface is used here
> to wait, but the CPU will not be released during the waiting period of this
> interface, which will cause the statistics to keep occupying the CPU. This is also
> the root cause of the soaring cpu.
> The command interaction should belong to the control plane, and there will
> not be too high requirements for performance. It is recommended to wait for
> the interface iavf_msec_delay to complete without taking up the CPU time.
