[dpdk-dev] Problems when testing l2fwd with ixgbevf pmd dirver

[Dong, Binghua]

Hi Lilijun,

I think you need unbind the device 02:10.0 from driver ixgbevf first; In Host 
Linux, you also need ifconfig up the PF eth of this VF;
Please ref my script to unbind a VF device and pass into VM, such as:
PCI_eth="0000:02:10.0"
ID_eth="ffff ffff"
PCIX_eth=" -device pci-assign,host="${PCI_eth}
echo $ID_eth > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pci-stub/new_id
echo ${PCI_eth} > /sys/bus/pci/devices/${PCI_eth}/driver/unbind
echo ${PCI_eth} > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pci-stub/bind
CMD=${CMD}${PCIX_eth}

Subject: [dpdk-dev] Problems when testing l2fwd with ixgbevf pmd dirver

Hi all,

I am testing the example l2fwd of dpdk-1.7.0 using intel 82599 VF NICs.
But the VF can't be used when doing probe pmd driver with following error:

EAL: PCI device 0000:02:10.0 on NUMA socket -1
EAL:   probe driver: 8086:10ed rte_ixgbevf_pmd
EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f78b181f000
EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f78b181b000
EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1
  Cause: Requested device 0000:02:10.0 cannot be used

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jerry
