DPDK pktgen with I226 link speed only 1G

[Amy.Shih]

Hi Qiming & dpdk dev team:

This is Amy from Advantech, we have a question about I226 DPDK loopback pktgen, could you please give us some advice?


We bind the I226 devices with vfio-pci driver and execute the DPDK pktgen. However, the link speed of both I226 are only 1G, we expected the link seepd is 2.5G.
Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!

Testing procedure & result:

root at FWA-1013-efi:~# modprobe uio
root at FWA-1013-efi:~# modprobe vfio-pci
root at FWA-1013-efi:~# echo 2048 > /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
root at FWA-1013-efi:~# mkdir -p /mnt/huge
root at FWA-1013-efi:~# mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/huge
root at FWA-1013-efi:~# dpdk-devbind.py -b vfio-pci 02:00.0
root at FWA-1013-efi:~# dpdk-devbind.py -b vfio-pci 03:00.0
