I'm having trouble running the basicfwd example and would appreciate
any help.
I'm running Linux Mint 21.1 inside VirtualBox, and I've created two
NICs:
verghis@verghis-VirtualBox:~/dpdk-stable-22.11.1/build$
../usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
============================================
0000:00:03.0 '79c970 [PCnet32 LANCE] 2000' drv=vfio-pci unused=pcnet32
Network devices using kernel driver
===================================
0000:00:08.0 '82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller 100e' if=enp0s8 drv=e1000
unused=vfio-pci *Active*
The first is bound to vfio-pci, to be used by basicfwd, and the second
uses the normal e1000 driver.
But when I run the code, it doesn't seem to see the VFIO driver at all;
further, it seems to think that 00:08.0
is using a non-kernel driver - why?
Here's the debug output; it should pick up the single VFIO port. I
don't care about the 'even number of ports', that's
easy to fix.
My apologies if I'm overlooking something simple.

It appears that the vdev_device_list is empty - isn't this where the
probe function for VFIO lives?

This is how I call basicfwd, am I missing something?

You need to create two virtual nic's and bind them to VFIO which
will remove from the kernel driver. Not familiar with VirtualBox config.
Is the virtual NIC in Virtual Box is not the same as virtio.
If it depends on the proprietary kernel driver, then
you are unlikely to get DPDK to work in virtual box environment.

Hi Stephen,
Thanks for the response.
I've tried with two virtual NICs, each bound to VFIO, as you can see
below.
verghis@verghis-VirtualBox:~/dpdk-stable-22.11.1/build$
../usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
============================================
0000:00:08.0 '79c970 [PCnet32 LANCE] 2000' drv=vfio-pci unused=pcnet32
0000:00:09.0 '79c970 [PCnet32 LANCE] 2000' drv=vfio-pci unused=pcnet32
Network devices using kernel driver
===================================
0000:00:03.0 '82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller 100e' if=enp0s3 drv=e1000
unused=vfio-pci *Active*
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by 'is the virtual NIC in
VirtualBox the same as virtio. The
NICs are PCnet32 LANCE, a standard NIC, bound to VFIO. In Linux Mint 21
VFIO is built into the kernel,
not a loadable module.
And yet the basicfwd code cannot find even 1 VFIO port. Very weird.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Pcnet32 is not a device supported by DPDK.
To use DPDK with a hardware device, the DPDK library must have a driver
for that hardware since the library interacts directly with hardware registers
and rings.

Yes, just realised it. Trying now with 82540, also tried with 82599,
which are both supported by DPDK.
Will update.
