Hi,
Hypervisor: KVM
VM: Linux OS with 2.6.32 Kernel
VM Settings:
8 vCPUs, 8192 MB of memory, CPU Configuration: Copy Host CPU Config (SandyBridge), Manually set CPU topology: Sockets=2, Cores=4, Threads=1
10Gigi Passthrough Interfaces attached to VM: Intel X520
DPDK settings:
DPDK Version: 1.6R2
echo 512 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
rmmod ixgbe
insmod igb_uio.ko
mkdir /mnt/hugepages
mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/hugepages
#./igb_uio_bind.py --status
#./igb_uio_bind.py --bind=igb_uio 03:01.0

./kni -c 0x1E -n 2 --socket-mem 512 -- -p 0x3 --config="(0,1,3),(1,2,4)" &
Having KNI process running in the background, creates two KNI interfaces called vEth0 and vEth1 which corresponds to IGB-UIO interfaces attached to the Userspace. The issue is that the Ethtool doesn't work with KNI interfaces. Is there anything that I am missing, How can I get Ethtool to work with KNI interfaces? Also, If I do not use --socket-mem OR -m EAL option, KNI application consumes all the huge pages(It doesn't mater 512/4096) assigned in the very first step.Is that expected behavior? Can I get KNI to work without assigning any Hugepages?
Also, I have attached screen shots of KNI log file. Please take a look.
Thanks,
Desh
