Hi Guduri,

I am a tester from intel dpdk team. I get a issues on usertools/dpdk-devbind.py

With the usertools/dpdk-devbind.py , I can't bind driver as expect.

I use the "dpdk-devbind.py" bind pci to igb_uio, then I using kernel tools  bind pci  to ixgbe,
I can bind pci to igb_uio successfully ,but it  bind back to ixgbe failed..

Bind pci to igb_uio and then  bind to ixgbe ,both use "dpdk-devbind.py", it works well.

Could you . have a look at this as soon as possible ,it block the daily regression test.
Thank you very much.


There are my test env and steps:

dpdk commit eba33e87ad37626604be7186e746751f99691084
Components: usertools/dpdk-devbind.py
kernel: 4.8.6-300.fc25.x86_64
driver: ixgbe
version: 5.0.4
firmware-version: 0x61bf0001
Expect: we can use dpdk-devbind.py to bind or unbind PCI-device, we also can use kernel tools to bind or unbind PCI-device, such as :
steps:
# ./dpdk-devbind.py --bind=igb_uio 0000:05:00.0
status:
0000:05:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection 10fb' drv=igb_uio unused=

# echo "8086 10fd" >/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ixgbe/new_id
# echo "0000:05:00.0" >/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:05\:00.0/driver/unbind
# echo "0000:05:00.0" >/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ixgbe/
# echo "0000:05:00.0" >/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ixgbe/bind
-bash: echo: write error: No such device
status
0000:05:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection' unused=ixgbe,igb_uio
Result:
It can't bind to ixgbe, expect it can bind to ixgbe.
