Looks like bnx2x has link problem?sometime it sees link up and most of the time it see link down even though the RX/TX counters are going up.
Has anybody seen this type of problem? If I don't use DPDK then I don't see this type of link related problem. The counter shows that it?s receiving and transmitting packets. I tried with ?n1, -n2 and ?n4. *1st Time:* [root@ ~]# ./symmetric_mp fakeelf -c 2 -m2048 -n4 --proc-type=primary -- -p 3 --num-procs=2 --proc-id=0 PMD: bnx2x_print_adapter_info(): Switch : 0 PMD: bnx2x_print_adapter_info(): =================================== Checking link status..........................................................................................done Port 0 Link Up - speed 10000 Mbps - full-duplex Port 1 Link Down APP: Finished Process Init.
