Hi I am using DPDKv1.7.0 running on Vmware Esxi 5.1 and am trying to reset the port which uses pmd_vmnet3 library functions from below function calls. rte_eth_dev_stop rte_eth_dev_start
Doing this, i face panic while rte_free(ring->buf_info) in Vmxnet3_cmd_ring_release(). I have gone through following thread but the patch mentioned didn't help rather it crashed in start function while accessing buf_info in vmxnet3_post_rx_bufs. I see this buf_info is allocated in queue setup functions which are called at initialization. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.networking.dpdk.devel/4683 I tried not freeing it and then rx packets are not received due to mismatch in while (rcd->gen == rxq->comp_ring.gen) in vmxnet3_recv_pkts() To reset the device port, is this the right way what i am doing? Or do I have to call vmxnet3_dev_tx_queue_setup() vmxnet3_dev_rx_queue_setup() once stop is called? I have checked recent patches and threads but did not get much information on this. Thanks Navakanth
