Re: [dpdk-dev] [Dpdk-ovs] problem in binding interfaces of virtio-pci on the VM

[Srinivasreddy R <srinivasreddy4390@gmail.com>]

hi Mike,
Thanks for our detailed explanation of your example . usually i do similar
to u and i am aware of working with dpdk applications .
my problem is :
1. i have written a code for  host to guest communication .[taken form
usvhost which is developed in ovdk vswitch] .
2. i launched VM with two  interfaces .
3. i am able to send and receive traffic to and from guest to host on these
interfaces .
4. when i  try to bind these interfaces to igb_uio  to run dpdk application
. i am not able to access my instance . it got struck and not responding .
i need to hard reboot the vm.

My Question is  :
surely i might done something wrong in code . as my VM is not able to
access any more when i try to bind interfaces to igb_uio  . not able to
debug the issue .
someone please help me in figuring the issue . i dont find anything in
/var/log/messages after relaunching the instance .


thanks,
srinivas.
