Commit broke 32-bit testpmd app

[Sampath Peechu (speechu)]

Hi Maxime,

I’m attaching the following for reference.


  *   Instructions for Centos8 test setup
  *   Diffs between the working and non-working versions (working version has the problem commit backed out)
  *   Working logs (stats show that ping packets from neighbor VM can be seen with both 64-bit and 32-bit apps)
  *   Non-working logs (stats show that ping packets from neighbor VM are seen with 64-bit app but NOT seen with 32-bit app)


============================

$ sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status

Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
============================================
0000:07:00.0 'Virtio network device 1041' drv=igb_uio unused=
0000:08:00.0 'Virtio network device 1041' drv=igb_uio unused=

Hi,

In my initial reply (see below), I also asked if you had logs to share.
And wondered whether it happens with Virtio PCI or Virtio-user?

Regards,
Maxime
