Hi Bruce,

I did manage to find just one weird issue when I was trying to use the =
new DPDK v2.0.0. Previously I had code which was calling =
rte_eal_pci_probe() after rte_eal_init, rte_set_log_level, =
rte_mempool_create steps were completed, based on some of the sample =
applications. However it seems like the new code is calling this =
function itself inside of rte_eal_init.

So then the second call to it from my application raises some pretty odd =
errors and causes DPDK to terminate because it was one of the =
whitelisted PCI devices which is considered mandatory to succeed in the =
init process:

EAL: PCI device 0000:00:09.0 on NUMA socket -1
EAL:   probe driver: 8086:100e rte_em_pmd
EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7ff0dc200000
PMD: eth_em_dev_init(): port_id 0 vendorID=3D0x8086 deviceID=3D0x100e
EAL: PCI device 0000:00:09.0 on NUMA socket -1
EAL:   probe driver: 8086:100e rte_em_pmd
EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7ff0dc220000
EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1
  Cause: Requested device 0000:00:09.0 cannot be used

I am not sure if it means I screwed up and wasn't doing it right in the =
first place and it was always incorrect to do it the way I did or if =
this is a behavior change that should be documented somewhere. Has =
anybody else seen this behavior?

Matthew.=
