[dpdk-users] BroadCom BNXT driver - Sample program crash DPDK - 18.11

Hi,


When i run the sample program "hello_world" using the DPDK - 18.11
version on Braodcom BNXT driver the crash is seen:

[root@localhost build]# ./helloworld
EAL: Detected 48 lcore(s)
EAL: Detected 2 NUMA nodes
EAL: Multi-process socket /var/run/dpdk/rte/mp_socket
EAL: Probing VFIO support...

EAL:   probe driver: 14e4:16dc net_bnxt
bnxt_dev_init(): Broadcom NetXtreme driver bnxt

bnxt_hwrm_ver_get(): 1.8.4:20.8.177
bnxt_hwrm_ver_get(): Driver HWRM version: 1.9.2

bnxt_hwrm_func_resc_qcaps(): error 65535:0:00000000:0000
bnxt_dev_init(): hwrm query capability failure rc: ffffffea
Segmentation fault

However with DPDK-17.11 version the sample program runs perfectly fine.

This application works well on Firmware-version: 1.8.2, whereas in
"1.8.4" version, this issue was occurring.


Does anybody faced similar issue ? what is work-around/fix on this issue.

Below is the output of dpdk-devbind.py -s
