I've been running my application for years on igb_uio with Intel NICs. I
recently replaced them with a Mellanox ConnectX-5 2x 40gbps NIC, updated
the DPDK version my application uses, and compiled with support for mlx5
PMDs. Both 40Gbps ports are up with link, and both are in Ethernet mode,
not Infiniband mode. However, I'm getting complaints when I start my
application about trying to load 'mlx5_eth'? Both are bound to mlx5_core
driver at the moment. When I bind them to vfio-pci, or uio_pci_generic, my
application fails to recognize them at all as valid DPDK devices. Anyone
have any ideas? Also, strange that it only complains about one? I have them
configured in a bond on the kernel, as my application requires that.
