Hello!
I'm switching to Debian 8 from Debian 7 and found very interesting bug
with your load_driver.sh (ixgbe).
./load_driver.sh
rmmod: ERROR: Module ixgbe is not currently loaded
Warning: 0 hugepages available, 1024 requested
irqbalance: no process found
Configuring eth6
no rx vectors found on eth6
no tx vectors found on eth6
eth6 mask=1 for /proc/irq/112/smp_affinity

eth5 mask=1 for /proc/irq/110/smp_affinity
As you can see load_driver.sh tried to allocate 1024 huge pages but
failed (maybe you should fail in this case?).
This issue related with allocated by default in Debian 8 hugetlb buffers:
AnonHugePages: 0 kB
HugePages_Total: 0
HugePages_Free: 0
HugePages_Rsvd: 0
HugePages_Surp: 0
Hugepagesize: 2048 kB
DirectMap4k: 74240 kB
DirectMap2M: 50255872 kB
But there are no allocated pages:
grep HugePages_Total /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo
I suggest following fix for load_driver.sh:
if [ `cat /proc/mounts | grep hugetlbfs | wc -l` -eq 0 ]; then
sync && echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
echo $HUGEPAGES > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
mkdir /mnt/huge
mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/huge
else
echo $HUGEPAGES > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
fi
After this fix everything loaded correctly:
./load_driver.sh
rmmod: ERROR: Module ixgbe is not currently loaded
rmmod: ERROR: Module pf_ring is not currently loaded
