While trying to run dpdk Kni application I ran in to a problem, with
following error message
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 000007ffe2b92780

To run the application I first unbinded the ports from kernel module and
binded them to igb_uio
>echo 0000:05:00.1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ixgbe/unbind
>echo 0000:05:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ixgbe/unbind
>echo 0x8086 0x1528 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/igb_uio/new_id

I ran the application using gdb as

#3  0x000000000040d312 in main ()

(this is where the program crashes)

I tried to trace the crash with gdb(I am new to gdb)

and when I do the backtrace it ends up in different functions each time:
this time it gave me rte_kni_tx_burst()

I'm running latest dpdk version 17.02 and linux kernel is
Linux version 4.4.20 (tcuser at cibuild08) (gcc version 4.9.2 (crosstool-NG
1.20.0) ) #1 SMP

I would appreciate any suggestion or insight regarding this issue.
