Hi folks,
I've ran into an issue with hugepages on a Cavium ThunderX soc. I was trying to
bind a physical interface to VPP. When using 1GB hugepages the interface seems
to be working fine (well, at least I saw the interface in VPP and I was able to
configure it and use ping with it), but when using 2MB hugepages the interface
appeared in error state. The output from show hardware told me this:
VirtualFunctionEthernet1/0/1 1 down VirtualFunctionEthernet1/0/1
Ethernet address 40:8d:5c:e7:b1:12

Errors:
rte_eth_rx_queue_setup[port:0, errno:-22]: Unknown error -22
I dug around a bit and this seems to be what -22 means:
#define EINVAL 22 /* Invalid argument */
-EINVAL: The size of network buffers which can be allocated from the memory
pool does not fit the various buffer sizes allowed by the device controller.
Is this something you've seen before? Is this a bug? Do I need to do something
extra if I want to use 2MB hugepages?
Thanks,
Juraj
