-Appendix A Intel® DPDK License Overview
-=========================================
-
-
-The following describes the various licenses used by the Intel® Data Plane Development Kit (Intel® DPDK).
-The purpose of the Intel® DPDK is to prove the abilities of the Intel® architecture processors and to provide users with a strong set of examples, libraries and proof points.
-By placing the majority of this software under the BSD License, users may choose to use the Intel® as is, parts of it, or just the ideas for their programs.
-All code may be modified by the user to suit their project needs and requirements.
-
-.. note::
-
- The license in each source file takes precedence over this document, and should be used as the definitive license for that file.
- All users should seek their legal team's guidance with respect to the licensing used by the Intel® DPDK.
-
-
-
-The following table lists those files (or libraries) that are not under a BSD License. In some cases, these files are part of the standard Intel® DPDK release package,
-and in other cases may be a separate package that requires a separate download to be added to the Intel® DPDK. This document spells out those cases where possible.
-
-The sections following the table provide the various licenses used. Please note that copyright notices may change overtime.
-It is the responsibility of all users to understand these licenses and seek their legal team's guidance.
-
-The use of the GPLv2 License is confined to files in kernel loadable modules.
-
-The use of the Dual BSD/LGPLv2 License and Dual BSD/GPL License allows use with either free/open source software or with proprietary software in userspace.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
32-bit applications have limitations in terms of how much virtual memory is available, hence the number of hugepages they are able to allocate is also limited (1 GB per page size).
If your system has a lot (>1 GB per page size) of hugepage memory, not all of it will be allocated.
Due to hugepages typically being allocated on a local NUMA node, the hugepages allocation the application gets during the initialization depends on which
NUMA node it is running on (the EAL does not affinitize cores until much later in the initialization process).

-Virtio incorrect header length used if MSI-X is disabled by kernel driver

-| Title | Virtio incorrect header length used if MSI-X is disabled by kernel driver or |
-| | if VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC is not negotiated. |
-| | |
-+================================+======================================================================================+
-| Reference # | IXA00384256 |
-| | |
-+--------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| Description | The Virtio header for host-guest communication is of variable length and |
-| | is dependent on whether MSI-X has been enabled by the kernel driver for the network |
-| | device. |
-| | |
-| | The base header length of 20 bytes will be extended by 4 bytes to accommodate MSI-X |
-| | vectors and the Virtio Network Device header will appear at byte offset 24. |
-| | |
-| | The Userspace Virtio Poll Mode Driver tests the guest feature bits for the presence |
-| | of VIRTIO_PCI_FLAG_MISIX, however this bit field is not part of the Virtio |
-| | specification and resolves to the VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC feature instead. |
-| | |
-+--------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| Implication | The Intel® DPDK kernel driver will enable MSI-X by default, |
-| | however if loaded with “intr_mode=legacy†on a guest with a Virtio Network Device, |
-| | a KVM-Qemu guest may crash with the following error: “virtio-net header not in first |
-| | elementâ€. |
-| | |
-| | If VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC feature has not been negotiated, then the Userspace Poll Mode |
-| | Driver will assume that MSI-X has been disabled and will prevent the proper |
-| | functioning of the driver. |
-| | |
-+--------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| Resolution | Ensure #define VIRTIO_PCI_CONFIG(hw) returns the correct offset (20 or 24 bytes) for |
-| | the devices where in rare cases MSI-X is disabled or VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC has not been |
-| | negotiated. |

-Appendix A Intel® DPDK License Overview
-=========================================
-
-
-The following describes the various licenses used by the Intel® Data Plane Development Kit (Intel® DPDK).
-The purpose of the Intel® DPDK is to prove the abilities of the Intel® architecture processors and to provide users with a strong set of examples, libraries and proof points.
-By placing the majority of this software under the BSD License, users may choose to use the Intel® as is, parts of it, or just the ideas for their programs.
-All code may be modified by the user to suit their project needs and requirements.
-
-.. note::
-
- The license in each source file takes precedence over this document, and should be used as the definitive license for that file.
- All users should seek their legal team's guidance with respect to the licensing used by the Intel® DPDK.
-
-
-
-The following table lists those files (or libraries) that are not under a BSD License. In some cases, these files are part of the standard Intel® DPDK release package,
-and in other cases may be a separate package that requires a separate download to be added to the Intel® DPDK. This document spells out those cases where possible.
-
-The sections following the table provide the various licenses used. Please note that copyright notices may change overtime.
-It is the responsibility of all users to understand these licenses and seek their legal team's guidance.
-
-The use of the GPLv2 License is confined to files in kernel loadable modules.
-
-The use of the Dual BSD/LGPLv2 License and Dual BSD/GPL License allows use with either free/open source software or with proprietary software in userspace.

+I am running a 32-bit DPDK application on a NUMA system, and sometimes the application initializes fine but cannot allocate memory. Why is that happening?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
32-bit applications have limitations in terms of how much virtual memory is available, hence the number of hugepages they are able to allocate is also limited (1 GB per page size).
If your system has a lot (>1 GB per page size) of hugepage memory, not all of it will be allocated.
Due to hugepages typically being allocated on a local NUMA node, the hugepages allocation the application gets during the initialization depends on which
NUMA node it is running on (the EAL does not affinitize cores until much later in the initialization process).

-| Description | The Virtio header for host-guest communication is of variable length and |
-| | is dependent on whether MSI-X has been enabled by the kernel driver for the network |
-| | device. |
-| | |
-| | The base header length of 20 bytes will be extended by 4 bytes to accommodate MSI-X |
-| | vectors and the Virtio Network Device header will appear at byte offset 24. |
-| | |
-| | The Userspace Virtio Poll Mode Driver tests the guest feature bits for the presence |
-| | of VIRTIO_PCI_FLAG_MISIX, however this bit field is not part of the Virtio |
-| | specification and resolves to the VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC feature instead. |
-| | |
-+--------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| Implication | The DPDK kernel driver will enable MSI-X by default, |
-| | however if loaded with “intr_mode=legacy” on a guest with a Virtio Network Device, |
-| | a KVM-Qemu guest may crash with the following error: “virtio-net header not in first |
-| | element”. |
-| | |
-| | If VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC feature has not been negotiated, then the Userspace Poll Mode |
-| | Driver will assume that MSI-X has been disabled and will prevent the proper |
-| | functioning of the driver. |

++--------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Description | When TestPMD is run with only SRIOV port /testpmd -c f -n 4 -- -i, the following |
+| | error occurs: |
+| | |
+| | PMD: gntalloc: ioctl error |
+| | |
+| | EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1 |
+| | |
+| | Cause: Creation of mbuf pool for socket 0 failed |

+| | |
+| | testpmd -c f -n 4 --use-dev="eth_xenvirt0" -- -i |
+| | |
++--------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Implication | DomU will not be accessible after you repeat this action some times |

+Virtio incorrect header length used if MSI-X is disabled by kernel driver
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------

++--------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Title | Virtio incorrect header length used if MSI-X is disabled by kernel driver or |
+| | if VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC is not negotiated. |
+| | |
++================================+======================================================================================+
+| Reference # | IXA00384256 |
+| | |
++--------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Description | The Virtio header for host-guest communication is of variable length and |
+| | is dependent on whether MSI-X has been enabled by the kernel driver for the network |
+| | device. |
+| | |
+| | The base header length of 20 bytes will be extended by 4 bytes to accommodate MSI-X |
+| | vectors and the Virtio Network Device header will appear at byte offset 24. |
+| | |
+| | The Userspace Virtio Poll Mode Driver tests the guest feature bits for the presence |
+| | of VIRTIO_PCI_FLAG_MISIX, however this bit field is not part of the Virtio |
+| | specification and resolves to the VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC feature instead. |
+| | |
++--------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Implication | The DPDK kernel driver will enable MSI-X by default, |
+| | however if loaded with "intr_mode=legacy" on a guest with a Virtio Network Device, |
+| | a KVM-Qemu guest may crash with the following error: "virtio-net header not in first |
+| | element". |
+| | |
+| | If VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC feature has not been negotiated, then the Userspace Poll Mode |
+| | Driver will assume that MSI-X has been disabled and will prevent the proper |
+| | functioning of the driver. |
+| | |
++--------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Resolution | Ensure #define VIRTIO_PCI_CONFIG(hw) returns the correct offset (20 or 24 bytes) for |
+| | the devices where in rare cases MSI-X is disabled or VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC has not been |
+| | negotiated. |
+| | |
++--------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

++================================+======================================================================================+
+| Reference # | IXA00372346 |
+| | |
++--------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Description | The performance of an DPDK application may vary across executions of an |

+| | This situation occurs on rare occasions. |
+| | |
++--------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Implication | Occasionally, relatively poor performance of DPDK applications is encountered. |
+| | |
++--------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Resolution/ Workaround | Using 1 GB pages results in lower usage of TLB entries, resolving this issue. |

-Appendix A Intel® DPDK License Overview
-=========================================
-
-
-The following describes the various licenses used by the Intel® Data Plane Development Kit (Intel® DPDK).
-The purpose of the Intel® DPDK is to prove the abilities of the Intel® architecture processors and to provide users with a strong set of examples, libraries and proof points.
-By placing the majority of this software under the BSD License, users may choose to use the Intel® as is, parts of it, or just the ideas for their programs.
-All code may be modified by the user to suit their project needs and requirements.
-
-.. note::
-
- The license in each source file takes precedence over this document, and should be used as the definitive license for that file.
- All users should seek their legal team's guidance with respect to the licensing used by the Intel® DPDK.
-
-
-
-The following table lists those files (or libraries) that are not under a BSD License. In some cases, these files are part of the standard Intel® DPDK release package,
-and in other cases may be a separate package that requires a separate download to be added to the Intel® DPDK. This document spells out those cases where possible.
-
-The sections following the table provide the various licenses used. Please note that copyright notices may change overtime.
-It is the responsibility of all users to understand these licenses and seek their legal team's guidance.
-
-The use of the GPLv2 License is confined to files in kernel loadable modules.
-
-The use of the Dual BSD/LGPLv2 License and Dual BSD/GPL License allows use with either free/open source software or with proprietary software in userspace.

+I am running a 32-bit DPDK application on a NUMA system, and sometimes the application initializes fine but cannot allocate memory. Why is that happening?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
32-bit applications have limitations in terms of how much virtual memory is available, hence the number of hugepages they are able to allocate is also limited (1 GB per page size).
If your system has a lot (>1 GB per page size) of hugepage memory, not all of it will be allocated.
Due to hugepages typically being allocated on a local NUMA node, the hugepages allocation the application gets during the initialization depends on which
NUMA node it is running on (the EAL does not affinitize cores until much later in the initialization process).

-Virtio incorrect header length used if MSI-X is disabled by kernel driver

-| Title | Virtio incorrect header length used if MSI-X is disabled by kernel driver or |
-| | if VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC is not negotiated. |

-+================================+======================================================================================+
-| Reference # | IXA00384256 |
-| | |
-+--------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| Description | The Virtio header for host-guest communication is of variable length and |
-| | is dependent on whether MSI-X has been enabled by the kernel driver for the network |
-| | device. |
-| | |
-| | The base header length of 20 bytes will be extended by 4 bytes to accommodate MSI-X |
-| | vectors and the Virtio Network Device header will appear at byte offset 24. |
-| | |
-| | The Userspace Virtio Poll Mode Driver tests the guest feature bits for the presence |
-| | of VIRTIO_PCI_FLAG_MISIX, however this bit field is not part of the Virtio |
-| | specification and resolves to the VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC feature instead. |
-| | |
-+--------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| Implication | The DPDK kernel driver will enable MSI-X by default, |
-| | however if loaded with “intr_mode=legacy” on a guest with a Virtio Network Device, |
-| | a KVM-Qemu guest may crash with the following error: “virtio-net header not in first |
-| | element”. |
-| | |
-| | If VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC feature has not been negotiated, then the Userspace Poll Mode |
-| | Driver will assume that MSI-X has been disabled and will prevent the proper |
-| | functioning of the driver. |
-| | |
-+--------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| Resolution | Ensure #define VIRTIO_PCI_CONFIG(hw) returns the correct offset (20 or 24 bytes) for |
-| | the devices where in rare cases MSI-X is disabled or VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC has not been |
-| | negotiated. |

-Appendix A Intel® DPDK License Overview
-=========================================
-
-
-The following describes the various licenses used by the Intel® Data Plane Development Kit (Intel® DPDK).
-The purpose of the Intel® DPDK is to prove the abilities of the Intel® architecture processors and to provide users with a strong set of examples, libraries and proof points.
-By placing the majority of this software under the BSD License, users may choose to use the Intel® as is, parts of it, or just the ideas for their programs.
-All code may be modified by the user to suit their project needs and requirements.
-
-.. note::
-
- The license in each source file takes precedence over this document, and should be used as the definitive license for that file.
- All users should seek their legal team's guidance with respect to the licensing used by the Intel® DPDK.
-
-
-
-The following table lists those files (or libraries) that are not under a BSD License. In some cases, these files are part of the standard Intel® DPDK release package,
-and in other cases may be a separate package that requires a separate download to be added to the Intel® DPDK. This document spells out those cases where possible.
-
-The sections following the table provide the various licenses used. Please note that copyright notices may change overtime.
-It is the responsibility of all users to understand these licenses and seek their legal team's guidance.
-
-The use of the GPLv2 License is confined to files in kernel loadable modules.
-
-The use of the Dual BSD/LGPLv2 License and Dual BSD/GPL License allows use with either free/open source software or with proprietary software in userspace.

+I am running a 32-bit DPDK application on a NUMA system, and sometimes the application initializes fine but cannot allocate memory. Why is that happening?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
32-bit applications have limitations in terms of how much virtual memory is available, hence the number of hugepages they are able to allocate is also limited (1 GB per page size).
If your system has a lot (>1 GB per page size) of hugepage memory, not all of it will be allocated.
Due to hugepages typically being allocated on a local NUMA node, the hugepages allocation the application gets during the initialization depends on which
NUMA node it is running on (the EAL does not affinitize cores until much later in the initialization process).

-| Reference # | IXA00384256 |

-| Description | The Virtio header for host-guest communication is of variable length and |
-| | is dependent on whether MSI-X has been enabled by the kernel driver for the network |
-| | device. |
-| | |
-| | The base header length of 20 bytes will be extended by 4 bytes to accommodate MSI-X |
-| | vectors and the Virtio Network Device header will appear at byte offset 24. |
-| | |
-| | The Userspace Virtio Poll Mode Driver tests the guest feature bits for the presence |
-| | of VIRTIO_PCI_FLAG_MISIX, however this bit field is not part of the Virtio |
-| | specification and resolves to the VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC feature instead. |
-| | |
-+--------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| Implication | The DPDK kernel driver will enable MSI-X by default, |
-| | however if loaded with “intr_mode=legacy” on a guest with a Virtio Network Device, |
-| | a KVM-Qemu guest may crash with the following error: “virtio-net header not in first |
