Only the segfault is caused by new changes. It is caused by commit: https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/commit/?h=17.11&id=a10a7083d164fb48cc3978067820c3d256899f3e (Added Xueming Li to CC list.)

These are related to support in the OFED driver, and we still need to do more investigation. > > Thanks! > > -- > Kind regards, > Luca Boccassi Regards, Ali
