Hello,
We use two NIC cards - 10G X550T (ixgbe) for the DPDK-based application.
The application uses EPOLL for the UDP communication between the server and
the client.
With the kernel driver, the EPOLL works properly, but when we enable DPDK
support, we cannot see the communication correctly.
I would like to know whether anyone has tested DPDK with EPOLL on the 10G
X550T model.
Also, please suggest which NIC models have been verified using DPDK with
EPOLL for UDP communication. Thank you.
Regards,
Priya.

DPDK does not directly support UDP it is designed for raw packet applications.
It does not have traditional Linux sockets.
DPDK does support device interrupt and rte_epoll model.
It requires configuring interrupts and using VFIO.
See the l3fwd power for an example.

Thank you, for the information.
I have a UDPDK stack (with DPDK at the physical layer) for UDP
communication.
I am using VFIO module and binded the 10G X550T NIC to the VFIO module.
Then I wrote a simple server-client code for UDP communication using the
UDPDK APIs with DPDK support, which works fine.
Now, I added the epoll_create, epoll_ctl and epoll_wait commands, and it
looks like it is not working as expected.
Let me go through the l3fwd example and try to understand it better. If I
get any questions, I will get back to you. Thank you.
Regards,
Priya.

There is no file descriptor visible to poll on in DPDK.
You need to use DPDK interrupt mode which is rte_epoll.
Also, if DPDK wakes up in interrupt mode, it might not be a UDP
packet, it could be any type of packet that your stack has to digest
(ARP, ICMP, UDP, etc)

Hello,
I followed the example from the l3fwd-power to enable the event poll for
the ixgbe driver (10G X550T 1563).
Default multi-queuing enabled.
[image: image.png]
As the first step, I bind my NIC to the VFIO module.
[image: image.png]
The number of rte_eth_devices is shown as 1.
Then in my code, I called RTE_INTR_EVENT_ADD with kPort = 0 and kQueue = 0
->rte_eth_dev_rx_intr_ctl_q(kPort, kQueue, RTE_EPOLL_PER_THREAD,
RTE_INTR_EVENT_ADD, nullptr);
->I got the error as "RX Intr vector unset." When I checked inside the DPDK
code, it showed
intr_handle = dev->intr_handle;
+ if (!intr_handle->intr_vec) {
+ RTE_ETHDEV_LOG(ERR, "RX Intr vector unset\n");
+ return -EPERM;
+ }
I disabled multi-queueing by setting only one Combined queue but got
the same error. Could someone help me understand why and how to
overcome this error? Thank you.
Regards,
Priya.

//Adding the Interrupt Snapshot details from the kernel
Hello,
I followed the example from the l3fwd-power to enable the event poll using
Interrupt for the ixgbe driver (10G X550T 1563).
Default multi-queuing enabled.
[image: image.png]
The Interrupts associated with the NIC - PCI-MSI
[image: image.png]
As the first step, I bind my NIC to the VFIO module.
[image: image.png]
The number of rte_eth_devices is shown as 1.
Then in my code, I called RTE_INTR_EVENT_ADD with kPort = 0 and kQueue = 0
->rte_eth_dev_rx_intr_ctl_q(kPort, kQueue, RTE_EPOLL_PER_THREAD,
RTE_INTR_EVENT_ADD, nullptr);
->I got the error as "RX Intr vector unset." When I checked inside the DPDK
code, it showed
intr_handle = dev->intr_handle;
+ if (!intr_handle->intr_vec) {
+ RTE_ETHDEV_LOG(ERR, "RX Intr vector unset\n");
+ return -EPERM;
+ }
I disabled multi-queueing by setting only one Combined queue but got
the same error. Could someone help me understand why and how to
overcome this error? Thank you.
