[puneet_kumar kumar]

Hi Everyone, 
I am trying to install dpdk on freebsd and got stuck at one point. DPDK is in /usr/ports/net/dpdk. It has been compiled there. I also compiled via downloading dpdk from git.
Now I get these following errors


# kenv hw.contigmem.buffer_size=10737418

hw.contigmem.buffer_size="10737418"

# sysctl -a hw.contigmem

sysctl: unknown oid 'hw.contigmem'

# kldload ./kmod/contigmem.ko

kldload: can't load ./kmod/contigmem.ko: No such file or directory

# setenv contigmem_load "YES"

# kldload ./kmod/contigmem.ko

kldload: can't load ./kmod/contigmem.ko: No such file or directory

# kldload ./kmod/nic_uio.ko
kldload: can't load ./kmod/nic_uio.ko: No such file or directory

Can someone please help me? It is really urgent :(
Puneet

Hi,

 

I cannot enable VFs for the QAT device, my steps are as follows:

1.    Enable VT-d in BIOS

2.    Add the "intel_iommu=on iommu=pt" in the kernel command line

3.    QAT device driver has been inserted:

~ # lsmod | grep qa

qat_c62x              16384  0 

intel_qat            114688  1 qat_c62x

 

4.    Find the BDF of the PF:

~ # lspci -d:37c8

b5:00.0 Class 0b40: Device 8086:37c8 (rev 04)

b7:00.0 Class 0b40: Device 8086:37c8 (rev 04)

 

5.    Trying to enable VFs, but I did not find sriov_numvfs in directories:

/sys/bus/pci/drivers/c6xx

/sys/bus/pci/drivers/c6xx # ls -ltr 

--w-------    1      4096 Jan 22 21:41 uevent

--w-------    1      4096 Jan 22 21:43 unbind

--w-------    1      4096 Jan 22 21:43 remove_id

--w-------    1      4096 Jan 22 21:43 new_id

lrwxrwxrwx    1        0 Jan 22 21:43 module -> ../../../../module/qat_c62x

--w-------    1      4096 Jan 22 21:43 bind

 

But I can find sriov_numvfs in other directories:

/sys # find ./ -name sriov_numvfs

./devices/pci0000:b2/0000:b2:00.0/0000:b3:00.0/0000:b4:00.0/0000:b5:00.0/sriov_numvfs

./devices/pci0000:b2/0000:b2:00.0/0000:b3:00.0/0000:b4:02.0/0000:b7:00.0/sriov_numvfs

 

Unfortunately, when trying to enable the VFs with above sriov_numvfs file, cannot write to this file, like:

/sys # echo 16 > ./devices/pci0000:b2/0000:b2:00.0/0000:b3:00.0/0000:b4:02.0/0000:b7:00.0/sriov_numvfs 

sh: write error: No such file or directory

 

Can any guys know some clue about it?

Thanks,

Thanks.
The related question, for Ethernet device, if it has been bound to igb_uio driver, who is going to actually implement the rx_ring and tx_ring for the Ethernet PMD? The igb_uio driver?

[Fiona] This doesn't use the DPDK ring library. They are QAT-specific, hw-supported tx and rx rings.
