Hi David,

It seems I cannot invoke testpmd with igb_uio device using latest master
branch.
Here are steps I did.

$ T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc make install
$ sudo ./tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py -b igb_uio <pci addr>
$ sudo ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/testpmd -c f -n 1 -- -i
EAL: Detected lcore 0 as core 0 on socket 0

(snip)

EAL: PCI device 0000:84:00.0 on NUMA socket 1
EAL:   probe driver: 8086:1521 rte_igb_pmd
EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7fffc0000000
EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7fffc0100000
$

As a result of bisecting, it seems one of following commits may cause
the issue.

95b6a46 tailq: remove static slots
a234816 tailq: move to dynamic tailq

Could you please check it?

Thanks,
Tetsuya
