Bug ID: 398
Summary: MLX5 device won't start with no RX queue
Product: DPDK
Version: 19.11
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: ethdev
Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
Reporter: s...@nexatech.fr
Target Milestone: ---
When using a mlx5 device as TX only (0 rx queue), the call to rte_eth_dev_start
fails with the following message:
net_mlx5: port 1 cannot allocate RSS queue list (0)
net_mlx5: port 1 reta config failed: Cannot allocate memory
>From what I see in the code it's because, in mlx5_dev_start(), the very first
thing that is called without condition is mlx5_dev_configure_rss_reta(), which
immediately tries to malloc(nb_rx_queus*blablabla), which returns 0 because
requested size is 0.
My dirty fix is, in mlx5_dev_configure_rss_reta
(drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_ethdev.c):
- if (priv->skip_default_rss_reta == 0)
+ if (priv->skip_default_rss_reta || rxqs_n == 0)
return ret;
