| Description | When TestPMD is run with only SRIOV port “./testpmd -c f -n 4 -- -i” , the following |
| | error occurs: |
| | |
| | PMD: gntalloc: ioctl error |
| | |
| | EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1 |
| | |
| | Cause: Creation of mbuf pool for socket 0 failed |
| | |
| | Then, alternately run SRIOV port and virtIO with testpmd: |
| | |
| | testpmd -c f -n 4 -- -i |
| | |
| | testpmd -c f -n 4 --use-dev="eth_xenvirt0" -- -i |

| Description | When using DPDK applications on Xen 4.0.1, e.g. TestPMD Sample Application, |
| | on killing the application (e.g. killall testmd) vhost-switch cannot detect |
| | the domain U exited and does not free the Virtio device. |

Virtio incorrect header length used if MSI-X is disabled by kernel driver
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
+--------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Title | Virtio incorrect header length used if MSI-X is disabled by kernel driver or |
| | if VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC is not negotiated. |
| | |
+================================+======================================================================================+
| Reference # | IXA00384256 |
| | |
+--------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Description | The Virtio header for host-guest communication is of variable length and |
| | is dependent on whether MSI-X has been enabled by the kernel driver for the network |
| | device. |
| | |
| | The base header length of 20 bytes will be extended by 4 bytes to accommodate MSI-X |
| | vectors and the Virtio Network Device header will appear at byte offset 24. |
| | |
| | The Userspace Virtio Poll Mode Driver tests the guest feature bits for the presence |
| | of VIRTIO_PCI_FLAG_MISIX, however this bit field is not part of the Virtio |
| | specification and resolves to the VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC feature instead. |
| | |
+--------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Implication | The DPDK kernel driver will enable MSI-X by default, |
| | however if loaded with “intr_mode=legacy” on a guest with a Virtio Network Device, |
| | a KVM-Qemu guest may crash with the following error: “virtio-net header not in first |
| | element”. |
| | |
| | If VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC feature has not been negotiated, then the Userspace Poll Mode |
| | Driver will assume that MSI-X has been disabled and will prevent the proper |
| | functioning of the driver. |
| | |
+--------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Resolution | Ensure #define VIRTIO_PCI_CONFIG(hw) returns the correct offset (20 or 24 bytes) for |
| | the devices where in rare cases MSI-X is disabled or VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC has not been |
| | negotiated. |

| Affected Environment/ Platform | Virtio devices where MSI-X is disabled or VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC feature has not been |
