Dear Kyle Larose.
Thank you very much for your precious advice and answer.
I will try your suggestions.
I have a question. Can I use igb_uio driver in DPDK?
When I stalled the network device driver in DPDK.
I used the following commands and I see that the 10GbE devices have igb_uio
device driver.
sudo /sbin/modprobe uio
sudo /sbin/insmod $RTE_SDK/$RTE_TARGET/kmod/igb_uio.ko
Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
============================================
0000:02:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection' drv=igb_uio
unused=
0000:02:00.1 '82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection' drv=igb_uio
unused=
Network devices using kernel driver
===================================
0000:00:19.0 'Ethernet Connection I217-V' if=eth0 drv=e1000e unused=igb_uio
*Active*
0000:04:00.0 '82572EI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper)' if=eth3 drv=e1000e
unused=igb_uio
The network device driver seems to be igb_uio.
If I bind the network device to ixgbe using the following commands, the network
device seems to be connected to kernel, not the DPDK.
sudo ${RTE_SDK}/tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py -b ixgbe 0000:02:00.0 &&
echo "OK"
sudo ${RTE_SDK}/tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py -b ixgbe 0000:02:00.1 &&
echo "OK"
Can I use ixgbe driver for DPDK?
If I can, would you tell me how can I specify it?
Thank you very much for your precious advices.
Sincerely Yours,
Ick-Sung Choi.

Hello,
I don't know the reason for your errors, but I can probably help with
the function.
I usually do this in two ways. One way is to identify the driver, and
then look for instances of "struct eth_dev_ops" in it. For example, if
you have an ixgbe/82599/etc, the driver is the ixgbe. Searching in the
directory for it, you find this:
http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/tree/drivers/net/ixgbe/ixgbe_ethdev.c#n389
Another alternative is to attach to your running process with gdb, and
print the dev struct. gdb will typically map the pointers contained
therein to their symbolic names.
