[dpdk-users] Fwd: Issue in Dequeue Operations

[Sami Ullah]

Hi!

I am trying to develop a custom application using DPDK API. My application
scenario is like Host2Host encryption/decryption using single port and my
hardware is intel *X520* NIC.
The problem is in the dequeue operations, and in my testing i think the
problem is in queue argument. I am using one queue for* aesni based crypto
device* and crypto type is NONE.
1- If i skip *rte_crypto_enqueue_burst()*, then application does not crash
but surely there will be no packet in *rte_crypto_dequeue_burst().*
2- if I don't skip rte_crypto_enqueue_burst() and use same queue 0 in
rte_crypto_dequeue_burst(), application crashes. And if i set #packets to
0, no crash.

Initially, I though may be we can't use same queue in enqueue and dequeue
operation but after analyzing DPDK crypto examples that is possible. When
application crashed, i receive following error.:
dumping 9 stack frame addresses:

One thing* worth mentioning*, applications breaks with same error message
if i use wrong queue pair id like 1 instead of 0. So may be crypto queue is
captured by rte_crypto_enqueue_burst() but I am confused and don't have
further clue.


kind regards,
