Hello,
I have some questions regarding the i40e driver in reference to Intel X710 NICs. I have several 10G X710 cards on a host, mapped into a kvm-based guest via PCI-passthrough. DPDK sees these cards (the 6 in "Other Network Devices"): # dpdk-devbind --status Network devices using kernel driver =================================== 0000:00:03.0 '82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller 100e' if=eth0 drv=e1000 unused=uio_pci_generic 0000:00:04.0 'Virtio network device 1000' if=eth1 drv=virtio-pci unused=uio_pci_generic Other Network devices ===================== 0000:00:09.0 'Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+ 1572' unused=uio_pci_generic 0000:00:0a.0 'Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+ 1572' unused=uio_pci_generic 0000:00:0b.0 'Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+ 1572' unused=uio_pci_generic 0000:00:0c.0 'Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+ 1572' unused=uio_pci_generic 0000:00:0d.0 'Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+ 1572' unused=uio_pci_generic 0000:00:0e.0 'Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+ 1572' unused=uio_pci_generic No 'Crypto' devices detected ============================ No 'Eventdev' devices detected ============================== No 'Mempool' devices detected ============================= No 'Compress' devices detected ============================== But it wont bind them to the i40e driver: root@10.129.182.229:~# dpdk-devbind -b i40e "0000:00:09.0" Error: bind failed for 0000:00:09.0 - Cannot bind to driver i40e I'm wondering what I can do to debug this?
