For permanent fix we need more information, currently we can't re-produce this defect. Since you can reproduce it we need your support. Right now we don't know if this is compiler issue or code defect in rte_memcpy() or something else. It is easy to disable mavx512f as temporarily solution but it is coming with the cost of the performance drop, also without knowing the actual root cause I wouldn't say this is being conservative, actual issue may be just hidden with this change. I think as first thing we need to find a way to reproduce this issue in any other way than using mlx5 PMD. So that we can put more organized effort to fix this. I attached a simple unit test for rte_memcpy(), if this is a rte_memcpy() with avx512f defect as claimed, you should be able to see the issue with that, right? Did you able to find a chance to test it? Do you observer any crash there? > > Thanks, > Yongseok > >> >>> - Scenario: testpmd crashes when it starts forwarding >>> - Behaviour: AVX2 version of rte_memcpy() optimized with 512b instructions >>> - Fix: disable AVX512 optimization with -mno-avx512f >>> >>> It seems to have been reproduced only when using mlx5 PMD so far. >>> Any other experience? >
