DPDK: VMware+Ubuntu16.04环境搭建问题

1. 环境搭建

DPDK版本17.11.10。

编译过程及环境配置参考《Ubuntu16.04 虚拟机环境下搭建DPDK教程》。

2. 问题

(1) dpdk-setup.sh运行testpmd程序报错"Input/output error"

Enter hex bitmask of cores to execute testpmd app on
  Example: to execute app on cores 0 to 7, enter 0xff
bitmask: 3

解决方法：修改源文件lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/igb_uio/igb_uio.c

/* falls through - to INTX */
case RTE_INTR_MODE_LEGACY:
    if (pci_intx_mask_supported(udev->pdev)) {
        dev_dbg(&udev->pdev->dev, "using INTX");
        udev->info.irq_flags = IRQF_SHARED | IRQF_NO_THREAD;
        udev->info.irq = udev->pdev->irq;
        udev->mode = RTE_INTR_MODE_LEGACY;
        break;
    }
    dev_notice(&udev->pdev->dev, "PCI INTX mask not supported\n");

修改为：

/* falls through - to INTX */
case RTE_INTR_MODE_LEGACY:
    if (true)) {
        dev_dbg(&udev->pdev->dev, "using INTX");
        udev->info.irq_flags = IRQF_SHARED | IRQF_NO_THREAD;
        udev->info.irq = udev->pdev->irq;
        udev->mode = RTE_INTR_MODE_LEGACY;
        break;
    }
    dev_notice(&udev->pdev->dev, "PCI INTX mask not supported\n");

 

(2) dpdk-setup.sh运行testpmd程序报错 "Cannot allocate memory"

  Enter hex bitmask of cores to execute testpmd app on

解决方法：修改大页内存page数量，如由64修改为256。
