Greetings, I have been hitting this issue fairly consistently for the ixgbe driver
MEMPOOL: obj=0x7ffeed1f5d00, mempool=0x7ffeecb69bc0, cookie=badbadbadadd2e55 PANIC in __mempool_check_cookies(): MEMPOOL: bad header cookie (get) It seems to be a corruption in the mempool bound to my ixgbe port. What I have observed is that this ONLY happens if I initialize dpdk(i.e. start dpdk application) AFTER traffic is already flowing in through the port. If I initialize dpdk and bind BEFORE I start traffic then things seem to work fine. Any clues on why this might be happening? A bit stumped, so would really appreciate all the help I can get on this one.
