All, I was unclear if this should be usage or dev but it seemed like a dev issue to me.
I'm on DPDK 16.11.2 (CentOS packages) using the I40EVF driver and in the case of rx_mbuf_alloc_failed there is a null pointer dereference in drivers/net/i40e/i40e_rxtx.c line 830. The variable 'dev' is null. Looking at it right after initializing the port/queues it appears the source of that variable ((struct i40e_rx_queue*)rte_eth_devices[0].data->rx_queues[0])->vsi-> adapter->eth_dev is null as well. I couldn't find anywhere in the code base that initialized that variable. What am I missing/not doing right? Where is eth_dev supposed to be initialized and is that just missing or is vsi->adapter->eth_dev the wrong structure to be using in the rx_mbuf_alloc_failed case? Thanks, Stefan
