[dpdk-dev] running l2fwd with endless error message: PMD: Unhandled Msg 00000006

[cheng.luo.nq at hitachi.com]

Hi,

Recently I try to run l2fwd.
When I try to ifconfig the VF created by igb_uio based PF in the VMs,
The l2fwd will print out endless error as follow:
PMD: Unhandled Msg 00000006
PMD: Unhandled Msg 00000008
---------------------------

And the VM will also print out endless error message as follow:
---------------------------
[  447.339765] ixgbevf: eth1: ixgbevf_watchdog_task: NIC Link is Up, 10 Gbps
[  447.748556] ixgbevf: eth1: ixgbevf_watchdog_task: NIC Link is Up, 10 Gbps
[  447.844914] ixgbevf: eth1: ixgbevf_watchdog_task: NIC Link is Up, 10 Gbps
----------------------------
 
I have one Intel X520 with two ports.
I bind the two PF to igb_uio and then create one VF per PF.
I bind each VF to one VM and start the two VM in the same physical server.
I run the l2fwd in the host to take over the PF.
When I ifconfig in the VM then the above errors accur.

I use DPDK 1.5.0r0 version in the host with 3.6.10-4.fc18.x86_64.
In the virtual machine I use ixgbevf V2.11.3.

Anyone has the some problems?
Or I have any wrong step to run the l2fwd?

Any advises are appreciated.
