some followup ... I debugged more, it looks like rte_pci_probe is not happening, so the rte_eth_dev_allocate is not called at all ..., buy why is that? I ran testpmd, it shows no probed ethernet device.
# /opt/bluecoat/sslv/bin/testpmd testpmd -n 2 -l 2-3 -w 0000:00:04.0 -m 256 -- -i EAL: Detected 48 lcore(s) EAL: Multi-process socket /var/run/.rte_unix EAL: Probing VFIO support... testpmd: No probed ethernet devices Interactive-mode selected ...
