Please, prefer vfio-pci over igb_uio. https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/linux_gsg/linux_drivers.html#vfio If you don't have an IOMMU in your system (like you are simply testing dpdk, or running dpdk in a virtual machine with no vIOMMU), you can use the noiommu mode, but keep note that it is less secure. https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/linux_gsg/linux_drivers.html#vfio-no-iommu-mode -- David Marchand
