[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v9] drivers/net:new PMD using tun/tap host interface

[Aws Ismail]

I have verified that adding just a single tap device works with testpmd.
But as soon as I try more than one tap device, I would get a coredump, e.g.:

root@
​localhost
:~# testpmd -c f -n 4 --socket-mem 512 --vdev=net_tap
​,iface=tap0​
--vdev=net_tap
​,iface=tap1​
-- -i
EAL: Detected 16 lcore(s)
EAL: Probing VFIO support...
EAL: VFIO support initialized
EAL: cannot open /proc/self/numa_maps, consider that all memory is in

PMD: Initializing pmd_tap for net_tap as dtap0
PMD: net_tap: Create TAP Ethernet device with 32 queues on numa 0
PMD: Initializing pmd_tap for net_tap as dtap1
PMD: net_tap: Create TAP Ethernet device with 32 queues on numa 0
EAL: failed to initialize net_tap device
PANIC in rte_eal_init():
