Hello DPDK devs, I'm running a DPDK-based application (NtyTcp-DPDK) on Ubuntu 16.04. The project code is from my GitHub repository: https://github.com/jerry123456123456/Ntytcp_dpdk.git When I start it with sudo, I get the following error: PANIC in eal_intr_thread_main(): Cannot create epoll instance EAL: failed to create unix socket EAL: FATAL: failed to init mp channel EAL init failed: Bad address I have already tried: - Running with sudo - Configuring hugepages - Removing /var/run/dpdk/ - Adding EAL parameters: -c 1 --no-pci Could anyone help me figure out what's wrong? Thanks a lot!
