Hi,
I am trying to use DPDK-2.0.0 on Fedora 20 running in a qemu virtual
machine.
After loading the uio and igb_uio module and setting up hugepages, I try
to run the helloworld demo application.
As soon as the helloworld displays the "hello from core 1, hello from
core 0" messages, I loose all network connectivity to the VM.
If I try to run the helloworld application remotely the output freezes
after the following:
# ./build/helloworld -c 3 -n 2
EAL: Detected lcore 0 as core 0 on socket 0
EAL: Detected lcore 1 as core 0 on socket 0
EAL: Detected lcore 2 as core 0 on socket 0
EAL: Detected lcore 3 as core 0 on socket 0
EAL: Support maximum 128 logical core(s) by configuration.
EAL: Detected 4 lcore(s)
EAL: VFIO modules not all loaded, skip VFIO support...
EAL: Setting up memory...

PMD: ENICPMD trace: rte_enic_pmd_init
EAL: lcore 1 is ready (tid=3a7ff700;cpuset=[1])
If I try to restart the network services, I get the error from syslog:
BUG: soft lockup - CPU#2 stuck for 22s!
The network devices exposed to the VM are 2 BCM5719 interfaces + 2
82599ES interfaces:
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5719
Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 01)
02:00.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5719
Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 01)
0d:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82599ES 10-Gigabit
SFI/SFP+ Network Connection (rev 01)
0d:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82599ES 10-Gigabit
SFI/SFP+ Network Connection (rev 01)
Within the VM, lspci shows:
00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Red Hat, Inc Virtio network device
00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Red Hat, Inc Virtio network device
00:05.0 Ethernet controller: Red Hat, Inc Virtio network device
00:06.0 Ethernet controller: Red Hat, Inc Virtio network device
After loading the kernel modules, I bind the interfaces to DPDK with:
/root/dpdk-2.0.0/tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py --bind=igb_uio 00:05.0
/root/dpdk-2.0.0/tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py --bind=igb_uio 00:06.0
Would you know what is causing this?
I haven't been able to try DPDK 1.8.0 because it doesn't compile on the
latest Fedora Server 20.
Thanks for your help,
Olivier.
