As Konstantin mentioned: " I think it is a bit safer to do all checks first before doing txq_vec_setup()." Fox x86 & arm platforms, the setup is always 0, since 'sw_ring_v' is union with 'sw_ring' which is initialize at 'ixgbe_dev_tx_queue_setup'. union { struct ixgbe_tx_entry *sw_ring; /**< address of SW ring for scalar PMD. */ struct ixgbe_tx_entry_v *sw_ring_v; /**< address of SW ring for vector PMD */ }; static inline int ixgbe_txq_vec_setup_default(struct ixgbe_tx_queue *txq, const struct ixgbe_txq_ops *txq_ops) { if (txq->sw_ring_v == NULL) return -1; /* leave the first one for overflow */ txq->sw_ring_v = txq->sw_ring_v + 1; txq->ops = txq_ops; return 0; } So we need check the SIMD bitwidth firstly to avoid changing the sw_ring* pointer address. Also, looks like we need to add check on: int ixgbe_dev_tx_done_cleanup(void *tx_queue, uint32_t free_cnt) { struct ixgbe_tx_queue *txq = (struct ixgbe_tx_queue *)tx_queue; if (txq->offloads == 0 && #ifdef RTE_LIBRTE_SECURITY !(txq->using_ipsec) && #endif txq->tx_rs_thresh >= RTE_PMD_IXGBE_TX_MAX_BURST) { if (txq->tx_rs_thresh <= RTE_IXGBE_TX_MAX_FREE_BUF_SZ && <------------------- Add the same check (rte_eal_process_type() != RTE_PROC_PRIMARY || txq->sw_ring_v != NULL)) { return ixgbe_tx_done_cleanup_vec(txq, free_cnt); } else { return ixgbe_tx_done_cleanup_simple(txq, free_cnt); } } > + >= RTE_MAX_128_SIMD) { > PMD_INIT_LOG(DEBUG, "Vector tx enabled."); > dev->tx_pkt_burst = ixgbe_xmit_pkts_vec; > } else > @@ -4743,7 +4745,8 @@ ixgbe_set_rx_function(struct rte_eth_dev *dev) > * conditions to be met and Rx Bulk Allocation should be allowed. > */ > if (ixgbe_rx_vec_dev_conf_condition_check(dev) || > - !adapter->rx_bulk_alloc_allowed) { > + !adapter->rx_bulk_alloc_allowed || > + rte_get_max_simd_bitwidth() < RTE_MAX_128_SIMD) { > PMD_INIT_LOG(DEBUG, "Port[%d] doesn't meet Vector Rx " > "preconditions", > dev->data->port_id); > -- > 2.17.1
