Subject: [dpdk-dev] Any benefit of using DPDK's makefiles instead of using
Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2014 00:40:26 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAFMB=kCaeOi3nz9orC+X9ZnFOMq7DcGG02d38-HD=tWhyer1Jg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Anyone knows how to turn off TSO in DPDK+SR-IOV in KVM guest VM ? I want
the packets sending out of the KVM host not to have TSO by the hardware.
I imagine that I need to do the following:
1. turn off TSO in the guest before starting DPDK using ethtool -K ethX tso
off
After DPDK is started, the device will be removed.
I think the command ethtool will call ethtool function in the
ixgbevf.ko in the kernel to turn TSO off. Am I correct ?
2. turn off TSO on the host using ethtool -K ethX tso off
Do I need to do the second one ? Would the first one propagate down to the
host ?
James
