[dpdk-dev] FDIR issues when upgrading custom application from dpdk 1.8 to dpdk 2.0

[Marian Barbu]

Hello,

I've been working on upgrading a custom dpdk application from dpdk 1.8.0 to
dpdk 2.0.0.

I want to use FDIR to distribute the traffic based on IP to multiple
queues, but I seem to get -95 (ENOTSUP) error code from
*rte_eth_dev_fdir_set_masks.
*I mention that this was all working fine with dpdk 1.8.0. Any ideas?

Here's some general information on the setup:
* OS: Ubuntu 14.04.1
* Kernel: 3.13.0-32
* NIC: Intel 82599ES 10 Gigabit Controller

Here is the FDIR code:
    rte_fdir_masks fdirMask;
    memset(&fdirMask, 0, sizeof(fdirMask));
    fdirMask.src_ipv4_mask = 0xffffffff;
    ret = rte_eth_dev_fdir_set_masks(portId, &fdirMask);

Here s the port configuration:
    struct rte_eth_conf port_conf;
    memset(&port_conf, 0, sizeof(port_conf));
    port_conf.txmode.mq_mode = ETH_MQ_TX_NONE;
    port_conf.fdir_conf.mode = RTE_FDIR_MODE_PERFECT;
    port_conf.fdir_conf.pballoc = RTE_FDIR_PBALLOC_64K;
    port_conf.fdir_conf.status = RTE_FDIR_REPORT_STATUS;

Here is the dpdk nics status:
