Thanks Damjan.

Then I think there will be plan to change default state of INPUT nodes from 
POLLING to INTERRUPTIBLE. I think it is required to enable this feature at some 
point.

Thanks,
Nitin

There are 2 use cases:

- delivering RX queue interrupts directpy to the worker which handles specific 
queue
- waking up worker thread over eventfd

None of them is used today, but it should be at some point...

Hi,

I understand the purpose of unix-epoll-input PRE_INPUT node on main thread but 
I am not able to envision why it is required on worker core.
The way I see it all clib_file_xx() operations are on main core.

It will be helpful if any scenario can be explained where presence of 
unix-epoll-input() on worker core solves the purpose

Thanks,
Nitin
