Hi All, I am currently facing a weird issue where I am not able to bind the virtio_pci device to igb_uio in DPDK1.7 on QEMU/KVM. I can see there are two fold issues. 1.The pci_unbind.py script where the virt_path is removed from 1.6 to 1.7 version due to which the initial status is not able to show any interface name.
Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver ============================================ <none> Network devices using kernel driver =================================== 0000:00:03.0 'Virtio network device' if= drv=virtio-pci unused=virtio_pci,igb_uio 0000:00:04.0 'Virtio network device' if= drv=virtio-pci unused=virtio_pci,igb_uio 0000:00:05.0 'Virtio network device' if= drv=virtio-pci unused=virtio_pci,igb_uio 0000:00:06.0 'Virtio network device' if= drv=virtio-pci unused=virtio_pci,igb_uio Other network devices ===================== <none> 2. After correcting the above issue , I am stuck where the interface is failing to bind to igb_uio. I tried to bind the interface manually to igb_uio but I am getting the following error lspci -k 00:05.0 Ethernet controller: Red Hat, Inc Virtio network device Subsystem: Red Hat, Inc Device 0001 Kernel modules: virtio_pci echo 0000:00:05.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/igb_uio/bind -bash: echo: write error: No such device Due to this the bind fails and the virtio_pmd is not able to take and my app is not coming up. EAL: PCI device 0000:00:03.0 on NUMA socket -1 EAL: probe driver: 1af4:1000 rte_virtio_pmd EAL: 0000:00:06.0 not managed by UIO driver, skipping EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1 Cause: No Ethernet ports - bye I see lots of email threads on similar issue but none had the final conclusion. So can someone guide me on how to proceed further or get out of this error. -- Regards, Souvik
